Additional Services
Focused Academic Coaching and SAT Prep are two programs that are available for an additional cost and are not offered as credit courses. They are scheduled in addition to a student's four core classes (English, math, and two electives).
The Focused Academic Coaching (F.A.C.) process enhances quality of life, improves performance, and supports growth and change in enrolled students. Coaching provides support, structure and accountability. Coach and student explore strengths, talents, tools, and new learning to increase self-awareness and personal empowerment. Together they design strategies and actions and monitor progress by creating accountability in line with the goals and aspirations of each student. Most of the students who participate in the program have a diagnosis of ADHD or a learning difference, but a diagnosis is NOT required in order to participate.
F.A.C. combines two individual meetings per week with two individual "get it done" times. During "get it done" times, a student works on task lists generated during coaching sessions in the Academic Support Center, current writing assignments in the Goepel Writing Center, or specific coursework with a classroom teacher. There are a limited number of seats in this program. There is an additional cost of $5,500.
SAT Preparation is a strategy based class embedded in the academic day. Students attend two 50 minute classes per week from September thru early December. By enrolling in this class, students will also have access to materials to help them review on their own time.
