Student Support

The Grauer School's "Dean Team" - Middle School Dean Erin Langen and High School Dean Trevor Olson 

The Grauer School has a wide variety of student support programs for learners who need extra support and can benefit from close mentoring and monitoring. As the worldwide leader in the small schools movement, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized student support programs to our student body, as well as accompanying services to students throughout San Diego. 

Our student support programs address the unique challenges each learner might face during their journey through the middle and high school years.

Our enriched education support services include student support programs that are offered exclusively for Grauer students, as well as programs that are available to students from other schools throughout the San Diego area.

Educational Mentoring

This unique program is available to all students at The Grauer School who desire private mentoring and/or educational and organizational assistance. This is open to full-time Grauer School students ONLY, and enrollment is limited.

The mentoring program is specially designed to meet a student’s needs and typically focuses on organization, study skills, and educational gaps. With that said, equally important social, homework, and tutoring issues may be addressed. The emphasis is based on family requests, teacher recommendations and standardized test scores.

Mentoring placement is one-on-one pending mentor availability and student schedule. “Ed Mentoring” sessions are scheduled during a student’s “free” period during the school day. Availability for after-school mentoring is limited.

Daily Checkout Program

Immediately after school, students come to the Learning Lab and a teacher personally checks their homework book for completeness. The program is offered from Monday through Friday at 3:00 pm to 3:15 pm.

3–5 Homework Program

This after-school study hall provides a supervised space where students can complete homework with a teacher on-hand who can answer homework questions and check homework books for completeness. The program is offered Monday through Thursday from 3:10 pm to 5:00 pm.

One-On-One classes

A faculty member teaches your child individually (see the Independent Studies page).

Socratic Seminar Program

The Socratic Seminar Program offers half-size classes (three to six students) with enriched curriculum and/or self-paced study in a small, supportive group setting.

Tutoring

The Grauer School offers after-school tutoring sessions in specific subject areas and SAT review. This service is available to Grauer students and non-Grauer School students as well. Notification of cancellation must be received at least 24 hours in advance with an acceptable and legitimate excuse, or will be subject to full charge (prices subject to change).
