Academic Support

TAKE LEARNING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Gooding Family Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers tutoring, workshops, and individualized support to help your student get the most out of their Parker experience.

THE ARC AT PARKER

The Gooding Family Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers multi-faceted resources for students in Grades 6 to 12 who want to maximize their learning experience by acquiring new tools, refining skills, and developing an understanding for academic success.

Conveniently located at the Linda Vista Campus, Middle and Upper School students receive targeted academic support tailored to their individual needs from experienced teachers in small group sessions. ARC maintains excellent communication with classroom teachers and parents to ensure understanding of curricular requirements and awareness of students’ progress.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ARC

Parker curriculum is used as the basis to refine academic skills and strategies.

The program is process-oriented, teaching students to understand how they learn and to develop their own strategies.

ARC teachers are in close communication with student’s classroom teachers and parent(s).

I have been participating in the ARC since freshman year. With teachers who specialize in nearly every subject, I feel prepared to take on new challenges now and after I graduate.
