STRIDE Program | Small-Group Academic Support

Who is this program for?

The STRIDE Program (Small Teaching Remedial Intervention Development Education) is designed for students who may be working below grade-level expectations in one or more core academic areas and need additional time and specialized instruction to strengthen foundational skills.

The program provides a supportive environment where students can work from their current skill level and learning profile and develop the skills needed to make meaningful academic progress.

What learning needs does it support?

STRIDE is designed to support students with a range of learning differences and academic needs, including:

  • Learning disabilities and learning difficulties
  • Gaps in foundational academic skills (one or two academic years behind)
  • Reading and language difficulties
  • Writing and literacy challenges
  • Mathematics difficulties
  • Challenges with processing and retaining academic information
  • Students who benefit from remedial instruction and targeted intervention
  • Students who require additional academic support to work toward grade-level skills

Instruction is responsive to each student’s individual needs, allowing teachers to target specific skill gaps while building on existing strengths.
