College and Career Readiness
EPATT staff, tutors, and parents function as a coordinated team, dedicated to helping students graduate from high school, college and career ready. Our goal is to prepare all of our students for productive and fulfilling futures. We work closely with teachers and tutors to develop personalized learning plans that include frequent checkpoints to track student progress.
Academic Support
EPATT’s academic component is multi-faceted, depending on a student’s age and ability. Intensive, one-on-one tutoring has always been an integral part of EPATT; we run highly specialized in-school and after-school tutoring programs. In addition, parents can also select from a menu of online classes for their child.
Parents as Partners
Our program is designed to help parents be proactive, informed advocates for their children. We require a strong commitment from parents/guardians because we view them as co-educators and consider them to be our most important partners. Research has shown that parent involvement in a child’s education is the strongest predictor of student success.
Enrichment
At EPATT we also like to have fun! We offer enjoyable, educational field trips for our students to complement their academic experience.
“EPATT is the safety net for kids who might otherwise fall through the cracks.”
