CON (together) CRETE (grow)
The word CONCRETE in our name “CONCRETE STEPS” is derived from the Latin word “concrescere” which means “grow together”. Our plan is a long game plan in which we aim to grow with your child in their educational journey, helping meet their goals.
TARGETED TUTORING
Summer school will not help any child catch up, because each one fell behind or struggled in a different way. We design a tutoring program based on targeting weak areas through a calibrated and consistent approach that incorporates mental health.
Applicants must meet one or more of the following criteria:
ESL children, or children with ESL parents
Children who are one grade level or more behind their peers
Children who have lost a parent/s in the pandemic
