Accelerator Program
Students in the Lower School are assessed for reading progress every year. Those rising first and second graders who we feel will be served better by a different language curriculum will be encouraged to enroll in the Accelerator Program. Middle Schoolers who might be better served by a similar class, which will also incorporate organizational and study skills, will be encouraged to delay their study of a modern foreign language to enroll in this program. This is a free program provided by Westchester Country Day to help these children.
Tutorial
As a means of further addressing the developmental learning needs of students, Westchester Country Day offers an Academic Support Center staffed by one full-time and two part-time employees. The program is designed to provide very specific learning techniques used for remedial reading, math, and written language. Additionally, emphasis is placed on developing learning strategies to improve the student’s overall study skills.
Academic After-School Study Hall
We offer academic after-school study halls for grades 3 to 12. Hours for grades 3 to 5 are 3:30 - 4:30 and hours for grades 6 to 12 are 3:30 - 5:00 Monday through Thursday of each week. We have Westchester CDS faculty members, who provide general academic support in the major subject areas, supervise each study hall.
