Mission
To provide rapid and
profound increases in academic performances for both struggling and high
achieving students. |
Beal Street Academy is a small private school
serving students of every grade level. We provide an intense education
intervention to increase student academic performance.
We have an excellent reputation for our ability
to improve students’ academic performances—through both the Fluency Factory
and Beal Street Academy. We have an excellent, highly qualified staff, and
will continue to provide parents with an intensive, highly individualized
alternative for their children. Our
goal is to provide the individualized, high quality services that are
missing on the South Shore. We serve students who need well planned, fast
moving academic services, with a high staff ratio of experienced and skilled
teachers, and a powerful, research-based approach to learning that assures
they will be successful. Beal Street Academy will prevent another year of
struggling or failure in a placement that does not truly meet the needs of
the student. Who do we serve?
When we began Beal Street Academy five years ago
we were responding to the needs of students who were attending the Fluency
Factory. We know that there are still many students who are not being
appropriately served—students who could benefit immensely from the intensity
and quality of our curriculum. We now have the freedom to serve students of
all ages—and we have a staff with the skills and experience to make every
child a success. Our students fall into
several groups.
- Dyslexic Students: Our
battery of reading programs has proven extremely effective and can bring
students to excellent performances in reading and reading
comprehension—despite serious learning issues.
- Students recovering from injury or
illness: We provide a safe, intensive academic environment
where these students can recover their skills and become stronger
students, regardless of grade level.
- World Travelers:
Students traveling extensively may be penalized by their schools. We
provide intensive services to catch them up, and long distance tutoring
and curricula so that they can stay current wherever they go.
- Elite Athletes: We
have provided division 1 potential athletes with assistance and are
familiar with the demands that these students experience. We can help the
traveling athlete to maintain their academic edge, or to rapidly acquire
the skills that they may be lacking so that they can re-enter or bypass
academic requirements.
- Students with serious learning
disabilities: We are increasingly seeing students who have a
variety of learning issues—and we have helped them to remediate these
issues and move rapidly to higher levels. One of our Beal Street students
was able to increase his skill in each domain by four years in one
academic year.
- Students on the spectrum:
Our staff has provided academic instruction to a number of students on the
spectrum—and with great success. Our approach emphasizes positives, and
results in learning that is happily received and durable.
