Cheltenham Academics is a community-based volunteer-delivered tutoring program to boost student academic achievement for selected students in Cheltenham Township public schools. It is a partnership among the Cheltenham School District, Arcadia University, and several community- based organizations including the Cheltenham Area Branch NAACP and Congregation Adath Jeshurun.
Tutors address the academic skills of selected 8th and 9th graders at Cedarbrook Middle School and Cheltenham High School. Tutors will also address specific individual skills in classwork areas that students find challenging.
Cheltenham Academics is a corps of nearly 50 tutors, some of whom are students in education or a related field at Arcadia University. The remainder are community volunteers. We also engage retired teachers and others whose academic expertise and experience enable them to support students’ skill development.
