To help students reach their greatest potential, access to a quality education is just the beginning. Sometimes, reaching the next milestone requires additional support, individualized instruction, and opportunities to build confidence along the way. Through Arete Scholars' RISE program, students are gaining access to those opportunities through High-Dosage Tutoring, helping strengthen foundational academic skills and create a path toward continued success.

During a recent visit to Heritage Academy in Augusta, Georgia, Arete team members saw this impact firsthand as students participated in High-Dosage Tutoring provided by Studyville.

Currently, 24 Heritage Academy students are participating in the program, receiving targeted academic support designed to strengthen their reading skills and help them grow as learners. The visit offered an opportunity to observe tutoring in action, connect with school leaders, and gather valuable feedback about program implementation and communication with families. Arete also looks forward to reviewing student reading outcomes in December to better understand students' progress.

This initiative is made possible through Arete: RISE, an enrichment program designed to support scholars beyond tuition assistance. Through RISE, Arete works alongside partner schools and community organizations to connect students with additional academic resources, enrichment experiences, and opportunities that support their growth both inside and outside the classroom.

High-Dosage Tutoring is one example of this commitment in action. By providing focused, consistent instruction, students can strengthen essential skills, address learning gaps, and build confidence in their academic abilities.

"One of the biggest takeaways from our recent Augusta school visits was how much our school partners value Arete's commitment to supporting students beyond tuition assistance," shared the Arete team following the three-day visit. Conversations with school leaders also revealed opportunities to expand academic interventions, strengthen family engagement, and explore additional enrichment opportunities for scholars.

Heritage Academy is currently the first Augusta partner school implementing this High-Dosage Tutoring opportunity with Studyville, and Arete is excited about the possibilities ahead. Through continued collaboration with partner schools, Arete hopes to identify more ways to meet students' individual needs and provide resources that help them thrive.

Every student deserves the opportunity to grow, discover their strengths, and reach their full potential. Through Arete: RISE and the dedication of our school partners, we're working together to make those opportunities possible.
