Write Your Way to TJHSST

Get extra practice writing TJHSST admissions personal statements and problem-solving essays under time pressure—with formal feedback on every essay.

Why Fairfax Collegiate?

After an introductory TJ prep course, many students still want more reps: more timed prompts, more revision, and more specific feedback before they submit. Generic online writing courses rarely match TJ's essay types or give rubric-based notes on each attempt.

Fairfax Collegiate has prepared Northern Virginia students for selective admissions for more than thirty years. School-year Advanced TJHSST Prep is the next step after TJHSST Prep—the same focus as our summer Advanced TJHSST Prep course, delivered live online during the school year.

Enroll in Advanced TJHSST Prep and sharpen the essays that can set an application apart.
