MAC JR Program

A Superior, Holistic Multi-Media and Innovative Learning Program for Students of All Ability Levels in Grades 6 to 8

Our innovative and exciting MAC JUNIOR Program focuses on working closely with students of all ability levels in grades 6-8. This immediately useful and practical program has been specifically designed to meet the individual academic and social needs of each youngster. Each learner moves systematically and developmentally at his/her individual pace through listening, speaking, writing, reading and math. Because virtually every course and every test is based, primarily, on reading comprehension, this pivotal skill is the foundation on which MAC JUNIOR is built.

One of the major goals of all MAC programs is to foster and support autonomous learning. Our comfortable and caring learning environment provides the child with the support and the confidence to ask and answer questions without intimidation.

Throughout this summer learning camp, individualized benchmarks are used to assess the ongoing progress of each learner. This benchmark record is then shared with parents and may also be shared with the child's school--if the parents so desire. Professional referrals are made as needed. All data gathered from external sources are used to better serve the child's needs and are regarded as confidential, unless the family decides otherwise.

If you are really serious about grooming your youngster well for ongoing academic achievement and want your child to learn about himself or herself, as well as about academics in a nurturing, encouraging and safe environment, call: 732.741.6112/.3321 today! You will be happy you did when you see the positive changes in your child at school and at home.
