Program Description
Step Ladder Tutoring Program has targeted the Middle School “Special Needs” students with learning challenges, "Borderline" and "General Education" students (ages 12-14) as our main focus.
These groups were chosen because Middle School is a critical point in student's lives:
Studies have shown that, students with various forms of special needs are likely to benefit from additional educational services.”
Students will be carefully selected through self-referrals from students and referrals from the parents or schools. General Education students benefit from the academic assistance, mentoring and emotional support.
We accept students who have the potential to exceed their current grade level, but lack the motivation. We are:
