We know that with effective executive function and study skills, someone who starts off struggling can thrive with Academic Coaching that provides targeted support and practice. Often times, balancing school, sports, work, and home can get in the way of your child’s capacity to express his or her full potential. Our organizational support experts help our students with time management, organization, planning and flexibility and give them the tools they need to make better choices and avoid procrastination.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to effective study skills! Using your child's own insights as a starting point, our highly trained faculty design an individualized learning and organization system to support the study skills each student needs to become a more efficient and effective learner.
Executive function and study skills are the organizational processes that help students pay attention to their surroundings, prioritize their work, manage their time, and get things done. When your child is busy balancing a full course load and many different extracurricular activities, executive function and study skills allow your child to effectively complete homework while also assessing for quality.
This looks a little different for each student so our Academic Coaching is completely customized. For some students, they need support better utilizing their existing organizational tools and habits. For others, they need help prioritizing tasks and realistically estimating how long each one will take them. Better executive functioning skills allow your child to make the most of their time and efforts!
Whether focusing on academics or beyond, executive function and study skills are crucial life skills to have. Personal organizational effectiveness can help students maximize their learning in the classroom, while also allowing them to balance activities outside of school. For college and career, being able to make positive decisions about their time will grant your child more opportunities for success. College students often comment on the level of time management skills they need to navigate life after high school. Similarly, research has shown that time management and executive functioning skills are far more crucial to to professional success as an adult than academic skills.
Our Academic Coaches specialize in guiding your child’s development of these skills during middle school and high school which will open opportunities for them for the rest of their life!

Our study skills assessment provides our faculty the observations and data we need to build customized learning plans. These plans are designed to address each student's specific challenges while also leveraging areas of strength. Our team pulls from a wealth of proprietary tools, and even creates new ones when existing strategies are not enough. Faculty experts pinpoint processes that are holding your student back, model effective study habits, and purposefully assign responsibility to your student with the goal of him or her reaching independence. Building new habits can be a challenging process and it takes a meaningful mutual commitment to providing guidance that puts students in a position to put forth their best work.
Our specially trained and dedicated Academic Coaches work with each student to develop the processes and frameworks needed to achieve their objectives. For executive function and study skills support to be successful, we typically see students 2-3 times a week depending on the level of support they require. During sessions, students are introduced to organizational tools that match their learning profile, given space to implement them, and provided immediate feedback. Your child’s instructional team is also never alone in helping your student succeed - all of our Academic Coaches meet on a weekly basis to discuss EVERY student’s progress and check in with our global education support team at least twice every month to ensure they are using the most effective tools we have available.
You should always know what we are doing with your child and why we are doing it. We have the most robust reporting processes in the industry to ensure you are properly informed. We regularly call all of our parents and provide extensive progress reports which provide context and detailed recommendations for each of our students. We also recognized the importance of parent involvement and are always happy to meet with you at any time.
