Home Study Support Program
During the first month of a student's instruction, parents usually meet with
their child's teacher to discuss how they can facilitate educational progress
at home. The instructor, who develops this home study program, shows parents
how to:
-
help their child practice good study habits
-
effectively supervise their child's homework and study sessions
-
reinforce the remedial work the tutor does with the child
-
communicate effectively with school professionals
-
manage the stress often associated with handling their child's educational
needs
Consultation with Other Professionals
Sometimes parents and children have needs that cannot be met by educational
training. To make progress, the student may require medical treatment,
counseling, a more in-depth diagnosis, an outside support group, or special
services in the school. When this is the case, the Manus Academy staff meets
with the parents to discuss appropriate recommendations and referrals.
If a child is already seeing another professional, such as a psychologist,
psychiatrist, speech therapist or occupational therapist, we communicate
periodically with that professional to discuss how we may best support the
student and his or her family, provided the parents give us written permission.
Summer School Courses and Tutoring
Manus Academy offers accredited summer courses for high school students who
wish to earn credits for courses they failed during the school year or who wish
to take particularly challenging courses in a tutorial setting. Upon completion
of course work, these credits are transferred to the students' regular schools.
Students may take such courses as Spanish, algebra I and II, geometry or
English. Their summer programs usually involve a combination of individual
tutoring followed by independent work, five days a week for five weeks. Once we
determine the specific needs of each student, we schedule regular times for
attendance and cover the exact costs.
Because our school is fully accredited by the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and
AdvancED (the parent organization of SACS), most
principals at local public and private schools
accept our course credits as transfer credits;
however, we ask that parents get written confirmation
of this credit acceptance before enrolling their
students in our courses.
In addition, we offer one-on-one summer instruction
for elementary, middle and high school students
in basic handwriting, spelling, reading, written
expression and math skills. We also offer instruction
in other skills, such as keyboarding and
computers and science investigations. |
