Student Support

Beginning in early childhood and carrying through fourth grade, the Lower School program supports the development of a strong academic foundation for all students.

In each classroom, grade-level experts provide targeted and personalized instruction in all disciplines. When classroom teachers recognize that students need additional support, they utilize the expertise of our student support team.

The team, which includes the reading teacher, learning support specialists, classroom teachers, and the assistant division director, meets biweekly to discuss all students’ academic, social, and emotional progress.

From these meetings, the team designs personalized student support.

The Middle School program solidifies the foundation laid by the Lower School and guides students towards new academic, social, emotional, and physical challenges.

The student support team meets biweekly to discuss students and their growth. Through the Seminar Course and Advisory Program, the Fifth Grade focuses on building independent habits of study skills, organization, time management, and test-taking.

All Middle School students are encouraged to seek help from teachers during Conference Block. When faculty recognize that a student needs additional resources, the learning specialist works with families to develop a support plan.
