Each STRIDE/SSS student is welcomed by a member of the professional staff who will serve as that student's STRIDE/SSS advisor. Together, the student and the advisor will create a plan for academic success that includes an assessment of the student's skills and abilities, individualized instruction (when needed) in math and writing, and frequently scheduled appointments to monitor ongoing progress.
