• Educational Mentoring: The Grauer School advances close, mentoring relationships. Private or semi-private mentoring and/or educational and organizational assistance. The program helps students fill achievement gaps and with social, organizational, attention and homework issues. Mentors evaluate a student’s skills and habits to design an individualized program to help them succeed. Mentoring typically takes place during a student’s break in the school day.

Perhaps most exciting is access to an individualized math remediation program “ERB Pathways to Math” created by our standardized test service and targeting your child’s growth areas as demonstrated by the prior year’s test scores.
