Academic Coaching

The mission of our academic coaching program is to help develop independent, successful, and hard-working students. Our online and in-person academic coaching programs create students that have been trained with successful academic habits, executive functioning skills, and content knowledge, so they can go off to college and thrive on their own. We support student growth and the development of lifelong learning strategies through intentional, focused programming that aims to improve overall academic standing. Our coaches use a student-centered approach to cultivate a student’s ability to set goals, be accountable, manage time, organize, employ study skills, and become a self-advocate. By consistently implementing habits and skills that work for them, the easier it will be for them to improve executive function and develop success-oriented behaviors.
