[quote=Anonymous]Burke has one learning specialist for the middle school and another for the high school. They also have an after-school study hall (optional) that is staffed by teachers, including several afternoons with math teachers, where HS students can do homework and get help. The teachers are very available to kids who seek them out and, as a PP said, send frequent emails if your kid is sturggling (and some when your kid does really well). Finally, they are pretty open to having private tutors meet with kids at the school. That said, the philosophy of the school is all about kids taking responsibility for their own education. If your child wants help, they can offer a lot. If your child resists help, they won't do a lot of chasing him/her down. Also, the learning specialists are oriented towards accommodations, not towards remediation.[/quote]
