Helix's Academic Support Program
Helix’s Academic Support program is a nationally recognized, one-of-a-kind program. It is an integral part of our "Pyramid of Interventions", which provides students with academic support, successful role models, and opportunities to build connections with caring adults. Our large team of Academic Coaches work in units and collaborate together with teachers, administration, the Wellness Center, and parents to provide the essential skills and resources that will keep students on track for graduation. All students receive instruction on time management and organizational skills through the use of a digital planner with a focus on goal setting, responsibility prioritization, and accountability.
We know that all students learn differently and at different rates and it is up to us to find the key to helping each individual student achieve the goal of graduating from Helix Charter High School. The goal of all programs is to help students become strong independent learners.

The Importance of Tutoring
All the research on closing learning gaps points to high quality tutoring as the best intervention. Tutoring provided by a teacher or trained paraprofessional, 3 or more times a week and preferably during the school day, is recommended for high school students. The Academic Support program at Helix offers school day tutoring by trained paraprofessionals who receive education-based weekly staff development from Helix staff in order to focus efforts on helping students build strong, sustainable learning habits and perserverance that will serve them well past high school.
