No credit or refund is given for missed classes. Students receive personal attention and individualized preparation in small groups, working with highly skilled and enthusiastic instructors.  Pupils progress at their own pace, moving from one topic to the next as they are ready. During the school year, our emphasis is on helping students understand their coursework and complete assigned homework.  Any additional time available can be used for improving skills and for enrichment activities.  Each teacher and teacher aide works with a small learning group (usually three or four students per class), and each student receives individual attention for their particular needs.  We can also provide one-on-one tutoring.  Limited scholarships are available for those in financial need.
