Students meet in small groups of no more than three students three afternoons each week from 2:45–3:15 PM, where experienced instructors utilize research-based instructional strategies to strengthen phonics, early literacy, and foundational math skills. The individualized attention allows teachers to focus on each child's unique learning profile while building confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

Prerequisite: Recommendation from the Learning Support Team. A formal educational evaluation is not required.

Stuart Support+ (Grades 2–12)

Students meet individually or in groups of up to three students for 30-minute coaching sessions scheduled before, during, or after school. Rather than providing subject-specific tutoring, instructors work alongside students using their current coursework to strengthen organization, planning, time management, study strategies, self-advocacy, and long-term project management.

Whether a student needs help organizing assignments, managing competing responsibilities, preparing for assessments, or developing effective learning routines, Stuart Support+ provides personalized coaching that supports success both in and beyond the classroom.

After school programs for early and lower schools

All students (Early School through Grade 4) who are going to after care, enrichment, music/voice lessons, will walk with staff to the After Care room at dismissal. This includes all students in ES and LS. They will have snacks, and from there will either stay in After Care or attend their enrichment and return to After Care. Parents/guardians will pick up students from the After Care room. 

The prices of the packages will include After Care, snack, and some downtime. Payment for After Care will be processed separately from this form. Details are below. The price for Enrichment includes After Care at no additional cost, and you can come pick up your child anytime before 6 PM. 

After Care, 3:00-6:00 PM

After Care will be thought of in three age ranges, so that activities - indoors and out, are planned with and around students' developmental ages and interests in mind.  

Our earliest of friends, 1-3 years old, will have snacks, outdoor activities, and games/arts and crafts, that promote curiosity and togetherness, as well as creativity and fine motor skills.  

More Independent friends, ages 4-8 years, will have time outdoors on the playground that suits their size and gross motor skills, as well as games and crafts that draw just for that age range.  

The elders of Lower School, 9-11 years, can plan with the teachers the activities, short- and long-term, as well as games, that allow the girls to be with friends, yet have a little something to do that doesn’t feel like being with the “little kids.” Time with friends in the same age range.
