Greenhouse Core Program 2024-2025
Welcome to our Core Program!
Our core program meets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 9 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. This is a drop-off program where students rotate through age-appropriate ACADEMIC classes. (Younger students may not rotate but instead stay with the same teacher for all subjects.) The students will be grouped according to grades/abilities. (*Students with disabilities will need to be evaluated before being accepted into this program.)
The goal of our Core Program is to help guide students through academic subjects by providing pacing for the curriculum and some assignments to be completed at home each week. Weekly class time will be hands-on, engaging and allow opportunities for the students to explore and enjoy the class content.
Our Core tutors love their subject areas and are subject-matter experts. Parents are still the primary teachers. This means parents may adjust according to their child’s needs. Work will not be graded, but feedback will be provided to help our students grow! We hope you join us this year!
