Welcome to
Lafayette Academy…

Yes, we realize that many companies claim the “unique” mantel. We don’t just talk about it; we show it! Take a few minutes to read this page and we hope you will appreciate all of the services and features that truly make us a unique learning center.

Whether you sign up for a class or one-on-one tutoring, our instruction is differentiated. Our Shadow Classes^™ and Final Exam Crams™ are school specific, our Test Prep classes are organized by ability level, and our one-on-one tutoring begins with a learning styles assessment so we can teach to each student’s strengths.

Tutoring curriculum is not school curriculum! We do not start from scratch. We start where your child has stopped. In other words, we do a quick diagnosis to understand each student’s problem areas (or for advanced students, where they have stopped) and then our tutors use our custom curriculum (along with their years of experience) to eliminate any problems. Our proprietary curriculum has been developed by tutors who have helped students solve almost every problem for several years.

Learning styles reflect how each student prefers to learn. The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic learning styles. Understanding how a student prefers to learn allows Lafayette Academy tutors to personalize each tutoring session. For example,  we teach visual learners how to retain more information during a class lecture by visually organizing notes into models, tables, or charts.

This program’s adaptive math assessments pinpoint specific standards and concepts that are areas of weakness for your child. This information is then used to place your child into a custom designed curriculum that targets the exact content your child needs to learn.

Strategic Reading is a comprehensive reading program that focuses on conscious reading comprehension. Strategic reading is driven by SuccessMaker from Savaas Learning.
