Opening our doors this year, we are completely staffed by certified professionals with a combined experience of several decades. The Academic Center is open daily for academic tutoring to help students become more proficient learners. Sessions are scheduled by appointment for after-school or evening assistance with classwork, homework, preparation for standardized testing or specific areas in need of improvement.
Trained in behavioral methodologies we also provide highly structured instructional therapy for children with developmental delays. Interventions for children include building language skills, behavior and social skills. The earliest and most consistent treatment of Applied Behavior Analysis will provide the highest gains. We work with children and their families to ensure a solid program that can be applied to development in a variety of settings.

Academics in all curricular areas
It is critical for students to acquire new skills and the ability to know when to apply those skills. Students need to have a solid foundation in basic areas before they can build from them with confidence. At the Center, students can spend an hour or two after school to complete homework, have a nutritious snack, prepare for future assignments and still have time for extra-curricular activities and quality, non-stressful time spent with family when they get home.
