How do you help students transition into the program?

We enroll new students every year. For students to achieve the results that they do in our program, they must have the necessary support along their academic journey, from both the school and at home. While we encourage families to join our program sooner rather than later, students consistently join in later grades and are incredibly successful, although later grades are highly selective and only reserved for students with a record of extremely high academic achievement.

One of the tools with which we support our students is through Student Hours. Teachers provide support through targeted interventions as well as office hours throughout the school week for both students and parents to talk through concerns or questions. In addition to this, our school has a student affairs’ department consisting of deans and counselors. This department provides academic and social emotional tools, along with interventions for academic and behaviors support plans.

Depending on the grade we offer a number of other programs, including Academic Enrichment, Silent Study Hall and Homework Club where students support one another.  There are student-led clubs like Debate, Art, and Editorial where students have an opportunity to develop their leadership and organization skill.  We also offer Summer Packets before the start of the school year to help build the foundational knowledge needed to be successful in the upcoming grade.
