ACADEMIC

Stuart Support+ (Grades 2-12)
Time: Daily Individually Scheduled

The purpose of this program is to foster executive functioning skills, which are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. Students in these grades will have the opportunity to participate in daily 30-minute academic coaching sessions of one to three students led by qualified teachers which will be scheduled before, during, or after school based on availability and interest. While these sessions are not subject-area based, instructors will use the student's coursework to support her in her efforts to take ownership of her own learning and partner with the student to promote self-advocacy and self-determination. The sessions will focus on developing organizational techniques, time management skills, and effective study habits, empowering students to take control of their learning to ensure they understand what is required, including support with short- and long-term assignments. We believe these programs will provide valuable assistance to our students and instill confidence and a love of learning. Our commitment to student success remains unwavering, and we are excited to embark on this journey of growth and achievement together. The program cost is $2,500 per trimester. 
Prerequisite: Students do not need a formal evaluation with the learning support team to qualify for this program.
