Academic Resources
Discovering your unique learning style is an essential part of your educational journey. At Peddie, we’re committed to assisting you every step of the way.
Our community values a collaborative approach between students, teachers and advisors, ensuring proactive support to enhance academic effectiveness and success. We understand that academic challenges can arise, and we’re here to provide comprehensive support tailored to individual needs.
Referral Process
Our Academic Support Office located in the Yu Center for Student Support is readily available for assistance if a student encounters academic difficulties. Students, parents, guardians, advisors or teachers can initiate contact with the office. Once a referral is made, an informal, personalized plan is developed to address the student’s needs. This may include alternative teaching strategies, time management strategies or strengthening study habits and skills through regular meetings with our director of academic support.
Educational Evaluation
An educational evaluation may be recommended in cases of suspected learning disabilities or attention issues through qualified and trusted local agencies. We also facilitate extended-time accommodations for testing based on documented needs.
Additional Learning Resources
Math Center
Our Math Center, staffed by dedicated math department faculty members, offers daytime and evening sessions several times a week. Students can receive individualized assistance with math coursework or collaborate with peers and faculty in a supportive environment.
Writing Center
Led by experienced upperclassmen selected for their writing prowess and leadership skills, our Writing Center assists students with various writing tasks, from outlining to revisions. Through peer mentoring, we aim to cultivate better communication skills and foster a community dedicated to lifelong learning.
Study Hall
Sunday through Friday evenings, our structured study hall provides students uninterrupted time for focused individual or group work. Tailored to different grade levels, study hall aims to instill effective study habits for lifelong learning.
