ACADEMICS

After school tutoring has become the largest and the most comprehensive component of Chautauqua Striders’ programming and encompasses all age groups from kindergarten through high school at no charge to students or families.

High School

Since 1981, Chautauqua Striders has offered tutoring for all high school students in Chautauqua County. Flexible hours and nearly one-on-one tutoring with highly qualified, friendly, and experienced tutors makes this program ideal for students at all ends of the academic spectrum. In addition to assisting with daily homework assignments and helping students study for examinations in specific subjects, New York State Regents test review is provided. PSAT and SAT preparation courses are available in the fall and spring for any college-bound student.

SAFARI

(Students Attaining Future Aspiration, Respect, and
Inspiration) For a variety of reasons, not all students are well prepared or equipped to accept the added personal and academic responsibilities expected of them, and the move to senior high school can sometimes be a daunting one. SAFARI is a tutoring and mentoring program at Jamestown High School specifically designed to offer students academic assistance in a caring and a supportive atmosphere. Students are scheduled into SAFARI during the day and can also attend after school. Approximately 100 students per year are given the opportunity to build academic skills, improve classroom behavior, and develop effective study habits that will enhance their chances for graduation and future success.

Middle School

Striders has partnered with other agencies through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers and Advantage After School grants, and the Lighted Schoolhouse to furnish tutoring for middle school students throughout the county. These programs are geared towards students in 5th through 8th grades with a focus on homework help, organization and study skills, and test-taking tips.

Elementary School

Students enrolled in these after school programs receive many of the same services mentioned above but in a more nurturing atmosphere designed to encourage and reinforce the regular school day learning experience.

Community Based

Tutoring takes place in various locations outside of educational facilities. Participants range in age from kindergarten through high school depending upon the program. Again, academics are balanced with enrichment activities in a structured and a supportive environment.

Hispanic Tutoring

For students whose parents have recently come to the United States, largely from Puerto Rico, culture and language are barriers to learning. The primary focus of this program is to help Hispanic students in grades 9-12 at Jamestown High School adapt to high school life in America while reinforcing and improving communication skills and assisting with academic expectations.
