Academic Education

Helping One Student To Succeed (HOSTS) is a structured mentoring program which targets students who need assistance in reading, math, and other academic skills at Ferris School . Mentors serve as role models to motivate, support and provide individual student attention. Presently, there are approximately 40 mentors who volunteer their time for 80 students.

Pre-tests and post-tests show that Ferris School students increased their reading skills by 2.4 grade levels in just three months, and increased their math skills by 2.0 grade levels during the same period.
