Academic Support
Bancroft School offers proactive academic support programs to maximize the academic and social potential of each student. Our academic support coordinators work one-on-one with students to develop learning skills, such as reading comprehension, test-taking preparation, and time management.
We believe that remarkable progress is made when everyone comes together—including academic support coordinators, teachers, administrators, and parents—to design and implement an action plan that best meets the needs of each individual learner.
Lower School
Our Lower School program provides dedicated support through a K-5 interventionist. This specialist is available to all students, working with small groups or one-on-one based on individual needs in literacy and math. For example, students who score below benchmarks on internal or external pre-assessments will receive targeted instruction in small groups with the interventionist on a semi-regular basis. We reassess students' progress at multiple points during the year, ensuring flexible, responsive support in an ongoing manner. The interventionist meets regularly with the grade level teachers to review individual student progress as well as promote high quality differentiated instruction for all students.
Middle School
In our Middle School, teachers work closely with intervention specialists to provide targeted, progress-monitored support for students. Regular collaboration between faculty and interventionists ensures a focus on student achievement and helps refine the criteria for receiving intervention services. These personalized learning opportunities are designed to meet individual needs while encouraging the development of independent learning skills.
Upper School
Bancroft School's Upper School Academic Support provides personalized assistance to help students excel academically and become confident, independent learners. With a team of dedicated faculty, students receive tailored support through one-on-one sessions, small group instruction, and ongoing progress monitoring. Our goal is to empower each student to reach their full potential by fostering academic growth and self-advocacy skills. Learn more about our tiered program here.

“The biggest difference between Bancroft and my old school is that at my old school, I wasn't getting the help I needed. The Bancroft community is supportive of all kids from any and all communities, no matter where they're from, what they look like, or how they learn."
