What makes Cardinal Education’s test prep different from other programs in D.C.?

Plenty of test prep programs offer flashcards and formula sheets. We offer something a little more powerful—strategy, customization, and real results. At Cardinal Education, we don’t just teach your child how to answer test questions. We teach them how to approach the test strategically, manage their timing, and develop the confidence to perform under pressure.

What really sets us apart? Our materials. They’re not available in bookstores or mass-market prep guides. They’ve been developed in-house by our founder and expert team, based on nearly two decades of success with students from top D.C. schools. Every tutoring session is personalized. Every lesson is tied to your child’s goals and target schools. And every milestone is tracked so you can see real progress, not just hope for it.

Whether your child struggles with test anxiety or wants to break into the top percentile, we know how to get them there, with less stress and more strategy.
