ACADEMIC
SUPPORT

The Discovery Program provides intense language-based educational therapy that targets areas of weakness in memory, attention, auditory and visual processing, visual-motor skills, oral and written language, reading, spelling, and math.

The program is designed to improve academic performance and to enable students to learn independently. All of our Discovery Program teachers are trained by the National Institute for Learning Development.

The Resource Room program provides regularly scheduled supplemental instruction for middle and high school students needing curricular support.

This includes remedial instruction in basic skills (reading, spelling, math), study and organizational skills, test taking, reading comprehension, and memory strategies.

Support is available for students whose first language or previous language of instruction is not English. All students attending BFA must enter having at least a B1 level of proficiency in English.

BFA provides both tutoring for specific classes and intense English language instruction according to an individual student’s needs.

Students who demonstrate difficulty with speech (articulation), language, voice, or fluency may be evaluated to determine the need for this service. Individualized programs are developed for the students who need help.

In-person and remote intervention can be provided by private professionals through arrangements made by the Academic Support Department.
