Teaching the Science of Learning

Come to ARC on any day and you will find students bragging about the grade they received on a recent test or quiz. You will find tutors collaborating on how to best explain a complicated math concept so that students will grasp the idea with ease or parents and staff meeting to determine exactly what their child needs to achieve academically. ARC is a place where students find the support they need to enhance their academic ability. Students along with tutors and staff encourage their fellow students to excel and provide the framework to improve and enhance their academic skills. We believe in the ability of each student who walks through our doors. As experts in our fields (our staff consists of scientist, engineers, MBA's and teacher's), we understand the desire all students have to reach their highest potential. We have been in the classroom and experienced the thrill when information taught is real and can be applied. We know what it is like to use education to propel us into careers that make a difference and demonstrate our talent. It is our goal to pass that experience on to every student that walks through the doors of ARC. By offering specialized and individualized one-on-one tutoring with a trained and experienced tutor, ARC has made a difference in the academic lives of our students. Our approach includes partnering with teachers and parents in addition to providing exceptional service. I have often been asked, why would I as a career scientist open a learning center, my answer is always the same "because I know the value of education and it is my duty to ensure that those behind me can walk through the same doors I have".

Every year ARC seeks to expand its services according to the needs of the young and gifted minds we serve. This year, ARC is offering careers and educational seminars designed to introduce students to the myriad of occupations and opportunities available to them. Please consider registering your child for one or more of these informative workshops designed to enhance their future success.

Saturday's at the Bar

Thinking about the field of law? There are many varieties from entertainment to judgeship. Facilitated by Joan Hogarth, Esq. this series of workshops is, as Paris Hilton would say, "hot." Invited speakers include: Monifa Bailey, Esq, Chavella Brown-Maynor, Esq. and a few others. It's a course that even Johnny Cochran would not miss.
