SCHOOL PROGRAM

/  TUTORING

01

Academic success is very important to our program. We want to see every student have as much access to higher education as possible. Because of this we offer many different services in our after school program.  On Mondays we offer a tutoring service for students. Students who are under a 2.5 cumulative GPA are required to attend the tutoring sessions. Freshman are also required to attend the tutoring sessions. All students are welcome to come after school for tutoring if they are in need! Each student gets a customized folder which focuses on the subjects they struggle with and tutors are available to the students in a variety of subjects. These folders will help the staff track where struggles have been in the subject and appropriately help the students.
