TUTORIAL SERVICES: Pinnacle Learning Center provides support and tutorial services to students who are having academic difficulties. This service is implemented by evaluating the student's current academic achievement through reviewing school records, homework and test performance. Consultations with parents and the classroom teachers are essential components of this process. Once a student's academic profile has been compiled, a recommendation is made to the student and parents in regards to an academic intervention program. Upon agreement, a tutor is assigned and remediation begins. The tutor acts as a case manager and communicates as needed with parents and the classroom teacher. Remediation of specific problem areas allows the student to join more demanding programs at Pinnacle such as Regents Review Courses, S.A.T. Preparatory Courses, & 4th / 8th ELA & Math Prep.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS: Pinnacle Learning Center offers academic enrichment services for students who are currently performing on or above grade level expectations. Expanding on an individual student's strengths reinforces motivation and basic skill levels along with ensuring future academic success. Enrichment programs are offered in all curriculum areas and students often will join Pinnacle's Regents Review Courses, SAT Preparatory Courses, and 4th / 8th Grade ELA / Math Prep. Pinnacle  welcomes students associated with the John Hopkins Talented Youth Program.

How Do We Get Started?
Contact The Pinnacle Learning Center for a free, no obligation consultation for you and your child with an associate of the Center. During this consultation, you will be able to ask questions about the program, have a tour of the Center itself and review portfolios of potential tutors.

Should your child meet the admission criteria of the Center and you would like to proceed further, an academic evaluation is scheduled if needed.

Once the evaluation is completed, an academic plan is outlined and, with parent's approval, a tutor is assigned. In a short period of time, your child can start receiving the benefits of personal attention and begin moving toward academic success.
