Scholars Laboratory Residential and Non-residential Scholars

Scholars Laboratory (SL) residential and non-residential scholars receive the exact same services except that the non-residential scholars go home after dinner and study hours are over.

Ultimately, the non-residential service was designed to reach greater numbers of youth in-need. In addition to tutoring for specific academic courses and challenges, each non-residential and residential student can take advantage of mentoring, community involvement and soft skills training. Each student receives counseling to prepare him/her for the next academic step, such as moving from middle school to high school. High school students receive assistance in choosing a college, mastering a college prep curriculum, taking standardized tests such as the ACT and applying for financial aid and scholarships. S3SL conducts short-term and long-term performance reviews with each student, recording progress and providing individual improvement plans to address any difficulties.

The residential and non-residential scholars’ programs have been overwhelmingly successful. The program currently is continuing to grow and has 22 committed participants who are excelling in academics (GPA ranges from 3.0 – 4.0) and extracurricular activities including: chess, karate, wrestling, swimming, acting and many other endeavors.
