Opportunity for All Ages

Many people are surprised to learn that The Study offers a variety of services to the community. Over the years we have developed classes and programs that our parents rely on to enhance the learning and development of their children.

School: Primarily, The Study functions as a private school for children in preschool through grade six. Our kindergartners often end the school year reading, and our students often are performing above grade level on assessments. We also welcome new students of any grade level and will provide material that is academically appropriate for their age and academic level.

Tutoring: The Study provides tutoring for individuals or small groups throughout the school year and during the summer. We are not limited to elementary subjects, as we have tutors qualified for high school subjects as well. One of our more popular tutoring groups is our Foundations group for home schooled students.

Piano Lessons: The Study offers piano lessons during the day and into the evening hours for students of all ages.

High School Classes: The Study offers high school classes for credit on an as-needed basis. In the past we have offered algebra, geometry, art, cosmetology, history, and Spanish.

Summer School: Did you know that students lose much of what they have learned during the school year in the months of summer break? Summer school is a great way to sharpen the skills students have already developed, or to utilize the time to catch up with their peers. Have a student starting Kindergarten in the fall?
