S T E P Academics Inc.

S.T.E.P. Academics was founded in 2003 to offer tutoring services to students who consistently underperformed on standardized tests. In 2008 we began offering during-school-day small group instructional support to students in grades 1-12. "S.T.E.P." tutors are state-credentialed professional educators. Moderate to low-performing students benefit from small group, data-driven, and differentiated instruction. It has been proven that this instructional model has increased the academic performance and confidence of low-performing students. In addition, S.T.E.P. has incorporated the study of performing arts as a means of refining student exposure to various kinds of literature through the study of acting, the study of vocal music, and broad dance styles. Performing Arts classes are taught by professionally trained and experienced performing artists. Students are fully engaged in the learning process as they participate in both online tutoring and in-person performing arts instruction.

S.T.E.P. Academics was founded, and remains true to its purpose, to offer uncompromising and affordable academic enrichment services in the areas of test preparation, homework assistance and tutoring to students in grades 1-12 using credentialed teachers. S.T.E.P. Academics, Inc continues to apply for grants and corporate sponsorship to offset the costs that are associated with supplemental education. Moderate to low income families deserve the academic support that is required for their child to become a successful student and an asset to their community. Located as an after school program on the premises of public schools, S.T.E.P. Academics, Inc extends the hours of operation of the local school building offering additional academic opportunities that revitalize learning as a community priority that is equipped to participate and problem solve in the complexities of a global 21st Century work environment.
