Students may engage with their tutors via two-way text-chat or voice, choosing the communication style that works best for them. Tutors undergo background checks and are rigorously vetted, and they provide support using a Socratic approach that is encouraging and empowering, asking guiding questions to help students understand difficult concepts on their own. School districts are being encouraged to register for Tutor.com’s free access for their students; students outside of those districts will be able to register individually.

As we start a new academic year, I am reminded of the limitless potential that lies ahead for each and every student. There's an old saying that perfectly captures our sentiment: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

This year, we have so much to look forward to! Here's a glimpse of what awaits us :

Academic Excellence: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela. Our commitment to academic excellence remains unwavering. This year, we'll strive to empower our students with knowledge, critical thinking, and a thirst for lifelong learning.

Community Strength: "Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much." - Helen Keller. Our tight-knit community is a source of strength and support. Together, we'll create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Personal Growth: "The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. High school is a time of self-discovery and growth. We're excited to witness the transformation of our students as they navigate this important phase of their lives.

Extracurricular Adventures: "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." - Helen Keller. Our extracurricular activities offer opportunities for students to explore their passions, discover new talents, and build lifelong friendships.

Inspiring Faculty: "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." - Henry Adams. Our dedicated educators are committed to nurturing the minds and hearts of our students. They will continue to inspire and guide them on their educational journey.

Community Service: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi. Our commitment to community service will provide students with meaningful opportunities to make a positive impact on the world around them.

Memorable Moments: "Life is a collection of moments, stitched together by smiles." - Unknown. We'll create unforgettable memories through events, celebrations, and milestones that define the high school experience.

As we embrace the challenges and rewards of the year ahead, let us do so with enthusiasm, determination, and the knowledge that together, we can achieve greatness. Our collective potential is boundless, and I have every confidence that our journey will be one filled with remarkable achievements and heartwarming moments.
