The Mentoring Connection Academy
Every student matters and every ability is unique !
Focusing on evidence-based teaching strategies, incorporating emerging technologies and empowering meaningful connections, Mentoring Connection Academy enables neurodiverse students to build confidence, master core academics, and develop the critical thinking and life skills needed for long-term success.
Our Private Academy specializes in two programs:
1. Online Academic Learning Institution - with several core, elective and language subjects (grades 7 thru 12) taught by vetted instructors - ONE teacher to no more than THREE students.
- Part-time students ~ Supplementary instruction for Homeschooled students in any state, in any subject
- Full-time students ~ Our curriculum provides equivalent instruction of the kind and amount approved by the Nevada State Board of Education (NRS 392.070, 394.125, 394.130, NAC 389 Standards).
All enrolled students and their parent(s) are members of the Mentoring Connection, and will also have access to FREE group Enrichment Classes, scheduled weekly.
2. High-Impact Tutoring - a research-based approach to boost student learning, particularly for those who are struggling or experiencing challenges in standard school settings. We provide personalized attention and targeted support aligned with the school's curriculum. This can be designed for one or multiple subjects and is available for Secondary (grades 7-12) school, as well as University undergraduate and graduate level students.
Students will have access to a private online classroom with course materials, assessments and learning resources. Parents are provided with regular status updates, instructor comments, and quarterly assessment scores.
