Upper School Academic Support
All Bancroft students are supported by an advisor who provides general academic guidance and weekly check-ins. If additional academic support is needed, families may opt-in to receive additional formal tiered academic support from our qualified team.

The Academic Support program is provided in the following tiers:
-
Tier 1 provides basic structured study, reasonable accommodations provided by classroom faculty, and reinforcement of executive functioning strategies.
-
Tier 2 provides targeted strategic instruction based on the student's specific learning needs in the areas of executive functioning, reading comprehension, written language, study skills, and test-taking strategies.
-
Tier 3 Provides a comprehensive transitional program aligned with LBLD skills similar to our Hope Graham Program in grades 2-8. This intensive programming is designed specifically for students with diagnosed LBLD.
All three tiers are considered Fee-for-Service Academic Support Programming that includes:
- Formalized documentation that identifies strengths and weaknesses as described by the student’s formal educational evaluation (neuropsychological evaluations and school-based evaluations are acceptable, provided they were administered within the last 18 months at initial entry, and at least every three years).
- Ongoing programmatic consultation between Academic Support Faculty and the student’s classroom teachers.
- Support with assistive technologies.
- Ongoing communication with parents/guardians.
- Coordination of in-class test-taking accommodations as well as an application for these accommodations to the College Board and ACT when appropriate.
- Information on the cost of each tier can be found here.
