New Frontiers
The New Frontiers program has been designed to provide individually customized academic and social support services to adolescents and young adults with challenges in academic learning, executive functioning, and social interaction. Services begin in ninth grade and continue through college and beyond. We offer academic tutoring, life skills preparation, transition to college and adult life, specialized SAT and ACT preparation, college advisement, career assessment and guidance, social communication, and social activities. The program is designed to supplement existing school services by addressing the whole young adult through authentic learning experiences. Individual and small group sessions are offered.
