Many of the reasons a person wants to change schools during the academic calendar year are the same as wanting to utilize services in The Tutoring School:
- Family is transferred to NYC
- Want to live in NYC to pursue interests outside of school
- Want to acclimate to the city to be better prepared for a college in the city
- Current school isn’t a good match (too easy, too rigid, too big, etc.)
- Unhappy at boarding school and want to come home
- Public school isn’t working out well
- Have been home due to extended illness and cannot return to previous school
- Personal challenges necessitate a fresh start
- Are being bullied or cyber bullied and want a safer environment
- Current school can’t accommodate scheduling needs
- Not enough support for specific learning needs
- Current learning environment not optimal for student’s needs
- Feel like the current school is “factoring” you out
- Violated a school rule and asked to leave
- Not happy with the student body
- Not happy with the faculty
- Not happy with the administration
If you are considering a change in schools, there is no wrong time to make the switch. The sooner a student is attending a school that matches that student’s needs, the happier everyone will be. And the typical improvement in grades is just a bonus!
Many schools offer summer programs and have year-round admissions. Start your internet search, visit websites, and make appointments to observe the schools that best support the reasons why changing schools is your best option.
