  • Academics

    Academic Resource Program (ARP)
    The Academic Resource Program for the fall semester will start on Monday, September 8th and end on Thursday, December 11th (no meetings Thanksgiving Week). Chaminade offers the supplemental support service to assist students in meeting their educational goals. Mrs. Jill Stewart is the director for ARP. Mrs. Stewart has a wealth of experience in the area of academic support and student success. Accountability measures and organizational strategies are part of the program to assist our students in reaching their academic goals. The cost of participation in this program is $625 for each day of the week selected for the entire semester. For example, a family that selects the Tuesday as well as the Thursday sessions would have their student attend ARP each Tuesday and Thursday and would pay a total of $1,250 for the entire semester.  A family opting to send their student on Monday only, would pay $625 for the program for the entire semester.  Payment may be made in installments or in full at the time of registration. This program will meet in person in the high school library. Each student in the program will be assigned an academic mentor that will work with the student throughout the fall semester.
     
    If you have any questions about the program, please email the program director, Mrs. Jill Stewart jstewart@chaminade.org
