Oakton Academy’s TJ/STEM preparation program preserves the strongest parts of the legacy TJ and advanced middle-school curriculum while presenting it in a current, parent-friendly way.
The program supports students who want to become stronger in advanced math, science reasoning, critical reading, and concise writing — skills that matter for selective high-school pathways and for rigorous future coursework.
Focus areas
- Quantitative reasoning and challenging math problem solving
- Science reading, interpretation, and evidence-based reasoning
- Critical reading and grammar foundations
- Short analytical writing and reflection practice
- Student Information Sheet / profile-style thinking where appropriate
- Study habits, pacing, and confidence for advanced academic environments
More than admission prep
The goal is not only to prepare for a specific test or application. Students should leave with stronger reasoning habits, clearer writing, and more confidence approaching unfamiliar math and science problems.
