SEPS Center for Learning050

The SEPS Learning Center is a private school and clinic specializing in educational programs for traditional students as well as students with language processing deficits or learning difficulties. Individualized academic programs are offered in reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics. Courses give students the opportunity to study special interests, focus on strengthening specific academic weaknesses, or prepare for upcoming school or professional examinations. The school also provides comprehensive learning and achievement diagnostic evaluations for children and adults.

Day School for grades K-12 is held September through May each year, from 8:30am-3:30pm Monday through Thursday, and from 8:30am-12:30pm on Friday. Small groups and one-on-one instruction is provided. SEPS Day School follows a traditional 180-day schedule and provides full-time educational programs for students with special learning needs. Time and attention are given to all students to make certain their unique learning styles and educational needs are understood and addressed. A full range of required and elective subjects are offered including reading, language arts, foreign languages, science, social studies, health, writing, art, and mathematics. The student to teacher ratio is 3:1.

Private Tutoring is offered by appointment. Interactive, highly individualized tutoring sessions are designed to fit specific student needs. The tutors have experience in assisting individuals with academic skills, processing skills, homework support, and remedial or advanced work. Tutors provide support, instruction, and clarification. Flexible tutoring schedules range from one to three hour sessions.

Summer Day School begins the first Monday following Memorial Day, and open enrollment continues throughout the summer. Classes meet Monday-Thursday. Flexible summer school programs help families with busy summer schedules. The summer school provides an opportunity to catch up on school work or to meet new academic goals. Students may focus on one or two subjects, or work to strengthen particular skills within particular subjects. Teachers focus on motor, visual, verbal, and social skills. Students work on study skills, note taking, testing, listening, following instructions, and asking appropriate questions. In addition to regular summer school classes, SEPS Learning Center offers a summer recreation program.

Preschool is held from 9am-3pm Monday-Thursday. Afternoon sessions focus on Kindergarten preparation. The preschool program features small, cross-aged groupings. The curriculum is supported by the principles of Cued Speech - an ideal learning environment for children who have had difficulties learning to read or who are at risk of auditory processing deficits.

Recreation Programs are offered Monday through Thursday during the school year for children who are off-track, as well as after school for children on a traditional school schedule. The program includes arts and crafts, music games, and many other activities, plus weekly cultural and recreational field trips.

Several workshops are offered such as Writing, Mathematics, Reader's Club, Test Preparation, Merit Badge Completion, Extra-Curricular Skill Building, and more. For a complete list of workshops, and for more information about them, see the website.
