STEM Prep Tutoring

High Road Academy of Prince George's County is a private special-education day school at 5100 Philadelphia Way, Suite J, in Lanham, MD, run by Specialized Education Services, Inc. (SESI). It enrolls students in grades 3 to 12 and operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. Students are typically referred by their home school district, and instruction is built around each child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). The school works with students who have academic, emotional, and behavioral needs, including autism, learning disabilities, and communication delays, as well as learners affected by trauma, anxiety, or school avoidance. Teaching is organized into two learning pathways. The Spark pathway supports students with strong academic potential alongside behavioral or emotional challenges, including those navigating regulation, peer relationships, and trust-building. The Spring pathway focuses on instruction and life skills for students with learning disabilities, autism, or communication delays, using structured routines, repetition, and visual supports as they prepare for adulthood. Classes are kept small so teachers, therapists, and staff can give individualized attention in structured, predictable settings. The program uses SESI's Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Support, an evidence-based, data-driven model that adjusts the level of support to the student rather than reassigning the student. Related services available on site include speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, social work services, and a transition and life-skills program. Goals range from moving a student to a less restrictive setting to progressing toward graduation or a certificate of completion, with progress monitored against IEP goals throughout the year. The school also offers Extended School Year (ESY) services during the summer for students whose IEP teams determine that continued instruction is needed to prevent regression and maintain progress. ESY runs in small, structured classrooms with academic and behavioral instruction aligned to each student's IEP. The school is led by School Director Kimberly Cherry, who has worked at the Prince George's County campus since 2012. Families and districts can reach the school at 1-301-429-6191 or through the contact form on its page.

High Road Lower School of Prince George's County is a private special education day school at 9701 Philadelphia Court, Suite P in Lanham, Maryland. It serves students in grades 1 through 8 who have academic, emotional, and behavioral needs that a typical district classroom cannot fully address. The school runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. and can be reached at 301-636-6614. It is operated by Specialized Education Services, Inc. (SESI), a K-12 provider that runs private day schools and in-district classrooms in partnership with school districts, so placements here are generally arranged through a student's district and IEP rather than direct private tuition. Instruction is built around each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) and delivered in small, structured classrooms so teachers, therapists, and staff can work closely with each child. The school organizes its work into three learning pathways. Spark supports students with strong academic potential alongside behavioral or emotional challenges, including learners affected by trauma, anxiety, school avoidance, or juvenile justice involvement. Spring focuses on instruction and life skills for students with learning disabilities, autism, or communication delays who benefit from structured routines, repetition, and visual supports. Bloom serves students with significant cognitive or physical impairments who are nonverbal or minimally verbal and need close support with communication, transitions, and self-care in a calm, sensory-friendly setting. Related services offered on site include occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, social work services, and sensory rooms, with the specific mix tailored to each student's IEP goals. Classrooms align instruction to district curriculum standards while reinforcing prosocial behavior and self-regulation, and the program aims to help students either transition back to a less restrictive district setting or continue progressing toward graduation. The Lower School is one of three SESI High Road campuses in Prince George's County, alongside High Road Academy (grades 3 to 12) and High Road Upper School (grades 9 to 12).

In Lanham, MD, High Road Upper School of Prince George's County runs a SESI day-school program for 9-12 students from a campus at 9701 Philadelphia Ct Suite M.

On-site related services include Life Skills, Occupational Therapy, and Speech-Language Therapy. School hours: Mon – Fri 8 a.m. to 2:40 p.m.. The campus phone is 1-301-210-4860. High Road is SESI's day-school program for students whose emotional and behavioral needs aren't being met in a typical classroom.
