People often ask us, "What exactly does The Beekman School do?" Our answer is always, "What don’t we do?"

Core Capabilities

Flexible Scheduling

The Beekman School meets individually with students to create a customized schedule, according to each person's needs.

For commuters from New Jersey, Westchester, Connecticut, or Long Island, we can create a later start. 

For students who have pre-professional commitments outside of school, we can design a schedule that ends early, starts late, or has a long break in the day. 

For students who are coming back to school after an extended illness, we can create a reduced schedule so that they can start with two or three classes and increase their courseload when able. 

For students who need additional courses to make up missing credits or to accelerate for an early graduation, extra subjects can be added or can be taken at the end of the traditional school day through The Tutoring School.

Accommodations

At Beekman, we can provide personalized support adapted to each student's specific learning needs. The Beekman School offers a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:7, a reduced courseload for students who would like to focus on fewer classes, supervised study halls throughout the day to help students complete homework under the watchful eye of a Beekman faculty member, and scheduled free periods built into each teacher's and student's day, providing opportunities to discuss specific questions.

All students in The Beekman School receive up to double-time on tests. In addition, the use of iPads/electronic tablets is required in the classroom and may also be used for tests by permission of the Head of School.

Integrated Programming

The Beekman School works in tandem with The Tutoring School to provide a holistic program that maximizes each student's educational path. For students who are looking for a welcoming community but need the additional support of tutors, one-to-one classes, or small classes, we can provide a high school experience that also allows for peer interaction and social connections.

One-to-One Classes and Private Tutoring

The Tutoring School has tutors for all educational needs: we have subject-specific tutors to improve performance in a particular course, study skills tutors who develop strategies with students to help them complete homework, and test-prep tutors for standardized assessments.

We offer one-to-one classes in most subjects combined with flexibility in scheduling, pacing, and level. We can even coordinate with a student's current school to match a particular curriculum. Additionally, private tutoring is available through The Tutoring School for educational enrichment and support. Classes may be taken within our inviting school, at the student's home, face-to-face via the Internet, or another venue if it is appropriate.  Courses can begin and end at any time, and our staff is happy to work with each student to optimize his or her learning experience.

In addition to credit-based classes, supplemental tutoring and test preparation programs are available.

Accelerated or Delayed Graduation

We offer reduced or accelerated course loads for those students who would like to expedite or delay their graduation.

For students who wish to graduate in less than four years of high school, we recommend an unrivaled array of options through a combination of Beekman and Tutoring School classes during the school year, as well as a mini-session in June and a summer session in July and August, tailored to each student's specific needs.

For students who wish to focus on a limited number of classes each semester and extend graduation beyond the traditional four years, we work with individuals to design a customized schedule that works with personal plans.
