What is REACH Academy?

REACH Academy is a 6-week academic enrichment program designed to support students with special educational needs via Zoom.  REACH Academy matches students with high school and college volunteers in one-on-one or small group settings to make learning upbeat, engaging, and fun!

Parents can choose from three REACH Academy options this winter.  ALL are six-week programs that take place via Zoom on Tuesdays beginning February 2, 2021 and running through March 9, 2021.  The cost of each program is $60.  You may enroll in multiple programs, as long as they occur at different times on Tuesdays.   

Homework Help

Offered Tuesdays Feb. 2 through Mar. 9 from 3 pm - 4 pm OR 5 pm - 6 pm

Does your child need some homework assistance?  Are they having trouble getting their classwork completed during distance learning?  Sometimes, having an enthusiastic mentor can make all the difference!  In the REACH Academy Homework Help program, students receive 1:1 assistance from a volunteer tutor (high school or college student) for one hour each week.  The parent ensures their child has homework or class assignments ready for the tutor. To enroll, click here (English) or/o haga clic aquí (español). 

Dr. Seuss Book Club 

Offered Tuesdays Feb. 2 through Mar. 9 from 3 pm - 4 pm OR 5 pm - 6 pm

By interacting with books from well-loved author Dr. Seuss, participants will work on reading fluency and comprehension skills in small group settings. Through book related projects and small group discussions, REACH Academy's goal is to turn reading into an enjoyable social activity that makes learning fun!    

Parents can choose the group that matches their child's reading grade level (which may be different than their actual school grade level).  REACH Academy offers a K-2 Grade Reading Level Group and a Grade 3-5 Reading Level Group.  

Students will be provided books as part of the cost of enrollment in this program.  To enroll, click here (English) or/o haga clic aquí (español).
