ScholarSkills STARS (Kindergarten to College) is a long-term, intensive, academic enrichment program which consists of Specialized Training in Arithmetic and Analytical Reading Skills for students diagnosed with dyslexia or other reading problems. Students are accepted into the program from kindergarten through 3rd grade.

ScholarSkills for STARS will create a 529 college savings plan scholarship account for each student once that student has completed three months of intensive daily academic enrichment. ScholarSkills for STARS will fund the account and continue to add to the account based on the student’s effort and completion of coursework. Students will be evaluated every four months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this intensive, long-term enrichment program necessary?

Is the program online or in person?

STARS Kindergarten to College is a hybrid program. Students will meet three times for in person specialized classes. Students will be given daily online exercises for mastery learning.

How long does the program last?
This is a long-term preparatory program. As such, students will be required to devote a minimum of 24 months (2 years) to intensive skill building in reading, writing, and mathematics. However, we expect students to remain in the program until at least 8th grade so that we can equip them with the supplementary knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
