Unlike some programs, STS puts a heavy emphasis on academics and academic involvement. Therefore, we’ve structured our program around these very basic, very necessary learning blocks.

Language Focus:

Students are separated into groups for reading, spelling, grammar, writing and comprehension. Tutors facilitate reading and writing circles whereby children can support one another in these areas. We’ve also invested in language-based games and activities that correlate with standardized testing and that reinforce the fundamentals of English.

Mathematical Focus:

Our staff is dedicated to tutoring and mentoring small groups using the student’s assignments as a guide, in the subject of math. If they are reluctant or don’t have homework, we provide them with other activities that are still mathematically challenging. Focal points include number sense, geometry, logic and reasoning, problem solving, patterning and pre-algebra.

Science, Social Studies & History Focus:

In these subject areas, we lend assistance with projects, research and reports. This is also an area where we tend to incorporate enrichment activities that compliment what is being taught in the classroom.
