Assessment

Through Educational Diagnostic Services, a team of educational specialists conduct individual assessments for pre-schoolers through adults, to discern strengths and weaknesses in the academic areas of reading, mathematics, writing, listening and study skills.

Tutoring

Once a student's skill capabilities have been evaluated, an individual educational program is developed to offer one-to-one tutoring.  Tutorial sessions are designed to develop lifetime educational skills.  Tutorial sessions are available throughout the year.
