Homework Club
Afterschool Tutoring
Saturday School
Homework Club
We believe that achievement can be dramatically increased simply by ensuring that students do their homework. Homework is assigned in every subject, every night, and is checked every morning at 8 AM. Lower and middle school students who have not completed their homework are required to stay after school until the second (4 PM) or third dismissal (5 PM) for Homework Club to complete the missed or poor quality assignment. Families of students who must stay after school for Homework Club are notified by phone that day before 2pm.
Afterschool Tutoring
All teachers dedicate their time after school to ensure that students receive the subject-based skill development that they need. Teachers provide individualized afterschool support tailored to the needs of each student and the particular lessons at hand. Teachers run small tutoring groups and one-on-one sessions to review for upcoming tests, to practice math, writing, and reading skills, and to complete difficult or lengthy projects. Further, academically successful high school students serve as peer tutors for lower and middle school students.
Saturday School
When summer school proved to be an ineffective solution for students struggling to be promoted, our teachers designed a Saturday School program that focuses on pre-empting the problem before it even happens. Each Saturday, for four hours from 9 AM to 1 PM, students in danger of failing one or more academic subjects work closely with Boston Collegiate teachers on completing upcoming assignments and developing core academic skills.
