- Our team can help your child to work ahead, if the next day's assignments are available or posted online.
- We can provide supplemental instruction. Our staff is familiar with the NC curriculum and pacing guides for each grade level. We will provide grade level appropriate work to keep your child on track, and in some cases, working ahead. We find that 90 minutes is an optimal length for a group session as it provides time for instruction, guided practice, and repetition to aid retention.
