The Center for Lifelong Learning
The Countdown to AP Tests and Final Exams has Begun!  

As we approach the end of the semester, if your student is feeling overwhelmed or falling behind, The Center for Lifelong Learning is here to help. 

Whether it’s math that’s not clicking, essays that aren’t coming together, or simply managing the stress of it all, our Academic Coaches provide personalized support that builds both confidence and capability. 

How are your students’ executive skills in planning/prioritizing, time management, organization, and stress level?  Do they need help mapping out a study schedule and a coach to prepare your child to finish the semester well?  Our Student Success coaching can help with a final exam preparation session. 

At the Center, we focus on more than just grades. We aim to equip students with lifelong skills to navigate challenges with clarity and resilience. 

Our services include: 

It’s not too late to turn things around—or get ahead. Sessions are available before school, after school, and during study halls.
