We prioritize utilizing the work they ALREADY HAVE from school instead of adding to their workload.
We provide a consistent location, time, and academic assistance to help your child work on their homework and unfinished class assignments, while facilitating executive functioning habits of staying on task, persevering, managing time, prioritizing, etc. This is geared for kids bringing work they are already working on from their school or online/homeschool program, but we can also provide occasional supplemental work to bolster skills.

By offering small groups, we can lower the costs compared to one-to-one tutoring, but still be able to provide support for each child.

Opportunities to increase socialization within the groups and join us for snack/recess and lunch/recess. Bring your own food and come a little before or stay a little bit after and join us for snack/recess time (9:40-10:00) and lunch/recess time(12:00-12:30).

Note: At this time, High School students can attend this workshop at any academic level, but current staff feel most comfortable through Algebra 2. If they are in PreCalculus or Calculus, attending could still be helpful for skill review and executive functioning (staying on task, study skills, use of resources, etc.). If you are interested in Samara also offering assistance in PreCalculus or Calculus, please let us know.

Dual/Part-day Enrollment in our Day School
Dual-enrollment (attending Samara in conjunction of another public or homeschool program) options are available to our students at SDS. Organization of the dual enrollment is done through a team of the student’s parents/guardians, SDS administration, and the other school. Some of the factors to consider are: travel time, class schedules, credits, student benefits for dual enrollment, etc. If dual enrollment is decided to be added to the child’s education program, that student will usually attend SDS during the morning and enroll in one to three classes at an alternative school in the afternoon, but we can discuss options. One of the goals of SDS is to encourage the inclusion of students in the mainstream school setting or vocational program for as much as appropriate for that child to excel. Therefore, dual enrollment may be all the student may need from the beginning of their attendance at SDS, or a great way to help "learn and return" students from full-day attendance at SDS to the mainstream educational setting.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our staff. Thank you again for considering Samara Learning Center to meet your child's academic, executive functioning, and Success Attribute needs.
