Stuart Step Up (K-2)

Understanding the critical role of fluidity with skill development in academic success, we have designed a program for learners in kindergarten to second grade that includes dedicated time for more targeted instruction after school, from 2:45-3:15 PM. Students in this program will meet three times a week in small groups of no more than three students for 30-minute sessions to focus on extra-skill development in math and phonetics. Our experienced instructors will employ research-based strategies to engage students and cultivate their reading and math abilities, laying a solid foundation for future academic achievements. This program will cost $3,500 per semester ($7,000 for the year) and is open to all students. Prerequisite: Students do not need a formal evaluation; they need a recommendation from the learning support team to qualify for this program. 

Stuart Support+ (2-12) *This does not replace services offered through the Learning Center. This is an additional service that families can add to their child's schedule. 

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 promote ownership of their 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 and understand what is required, including support with short- and long-term assignments. We believe these programs will provide valuable assistance to 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 ($7,500 for the year) for Middle/Upper School and $3,500 per semester ($7,000 for the year) for Lower School. Prerequisite: Students do not need a formal evaluation with the learning support team to qualify for this program.

Instrumental and Voice Lessons (K-12) - ENROLLMENT IS FULL

Stuart will continue to offer individual and small group music and voice lessons from both our excellent Stuart educators as well as outside faculty based on demand and interest. Lessons will be offered before school, during the day, and after school based on preference and availability. Instruction will be provided in voice, piano, and instrument groups such as winds, brass, and strings. For the 2024-25 academic year, we will have three options:

• $45 (30 min. lesson)
• $60 (45 min. lesson)
• $80 (60 min. lesson)

Prerequisite: Beginners and intermediate students are welcome and encouraged to enroll.  

Stuart FitStart (3-12)

This holistic fitness program, open to students in grades 3-12, meets three times a week per trimester at 7:15 AM. Students are grouped by grade level to ensure activities are developmentally appropriate. This program prepares students both physically and mentally for the day’s learning through conditioning, weight training, meditation, outdoor experiences, and flexibility development. This comprehensive approach supports their well-being and sharpens their focus. The cost is $750 per trimester. No prerequisite required. 

Strength and Conditioning Program for Athletes (9-12)

This specialized fitness program is designed for students in grades 9-12 who are focused on enhancing their athletic performance, especially in the off-season. There will be comprehensive training to address the diverse biomotor skills specific to sports, such as strength, power, agility, speed, balance, flexibility, and coordination. Athletes will begin to hone these skills and build confidence, focus, and determination to compete and deliver their best on any given day by being challenged and learning to handle pressure. Sessions are scheduled based on student availability. The cost will be determined by the frequency and duration of training sessions. No prerequisite required. 

Salve Stuart! Morning Latin Instruction (5-12)

This is available to students in grades 5- 12 who are new to Latin and looking for enrichment opportunities in vocabulary, grammar, and learning this ancient language.
