Ninth through Twelfth Grade

Ninth through twelfth grade students are often enrolled at the Honors for very specific needs. They may come to improve reading comprehension and reading speed in order to take more challenging classes at school. Careful analysis of their reading ability often reveals that they missed some phonics skills in the earlier grades or that their vocabulary weaknesses are affecting comprehension. An individualized program will be developed for each student to improve these skills. Spelling, grammar, and vocabulary weaknesses may be affecting the student's ability to write stories and reports. Programs to eliminate their weaknesses as well as the Honors "Brainstorming" program will help the student actually learn to enjoy writing.

The need for Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II support brings many students to the Honors. These students work with a certified secondary math teacher on homework support and preparing for tests as well as remediating any basic math skills, which may be weak. Often these students are also being prepared for the SAT and ACT test.

College and Adults

The Honors also offers programs to college students who need to improve their study skills, test taking skills, reading comprehension and reading speed as well as those who need help with developmental math. These students go through the same pre-admission testing using the same nationally-normed tests used for younger students, because these tests pick up weaknesses in basic skills including comprehension, vocabulary, reading fluency, spelling, academic knowledge and all areas of math through Algebra II.

Adults who enter our program are usually in need of improving their skills in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and basic math skills in order to take on the job tests for the purpose of promotion or a job search. They often come to us for GED preparation when they have not had success in other programs or they specifically want an individualized program.
