ACHIEVE
ACHIEVE, Academic Counseling and Help Increasing Educational Victories Everyday, provides assistance for girls struggling in reading, writing, and math. ACHIEVE also provides daily assistance with homework.
Is your child a struggling reader?
ACHIEVE’s guided reading program is research driven and geared towards K-3rd grade girls who are reading below grade level. The girls meet in their small groups three times a week for 45 minutes of reading and writing instruction. If you believe your child would benefit from ACHIEVE’s guided reading program, please email Ms. Lynn about testing your child.
Our primary goal in ACHIEVE is to strengthen girls’ academic success by engaging them in year round enhanced learning opportunities. We accomplish this by providing all girls with daily homework assistance as well as one-on-one or small group tutoring when needed. During summer break, ACHIEVE combats “summer learning loss” through experiential and social activities that promote academic development. ACHIEVE also provides intensive reading support for girls reading below grade level.
Our secondary goal is to provide life-changing unconditional support and positive relationships for our girls that promote self-confidence and willingness to learn.
