Study Skills

How many times have parents seen their children become frustrated as they’re studying for a test, overwhelmed by unorganized stacks of notes and information?

Taylor Brainard struggled to sort it all when her Social Studies class was focusing on the Civil War. “It was kind of hard for me with all that memorization,” she explains.

Pisgah students need never feel that way again thanks to an innovative study tool that’s now taught in fourth and fifth grade classes: Cornell Notes. The method gives students a blueprint for note-taking and helps them keep information organized and concise.

“I was surprised that it was so helpful," says Taylor. I’m really able to keep my thoughts organized now.” Taylor is definitely sold on Cornell notes and the technique has made a huge difference in preparing Pisgah Lower School students for success in Middle School.
