In fall 2024, The Pennfield School proudly introduced the Center for Student Success (CSS), an innovative support hub designed to empower students at all levels of their academic journeys. Guided by the principle of nurturing “heart before head,” CSS creates a warm, encouraging environment where our students can grow, both academically and socially. The Center’s approach supports students who need guidance as well as those who excel and are eager for advanced challenges.
Through targeted, small-group instruction, CSS strengthens classroom learning by ensuring students have the support and enrichment needed to thrive. CSS helps all learners unlock their potential—whether they’re building foundational skills or exploring more advanced material. A team of reading and writing interventionists collaborates closely with classroom teachers, administrators, and families, providing students with a pathway to growth.
This inclusive approach means that CSS is a resource for learners, giving students the confidence and resilience to tackle challenges at their own pace. By turning obstacles into opportunities, CSS fosters self-awareness, academic independence, and a lifelong love of learning. High-achieving students are encouraged to reach new heights, while those needing extra support build the skills to succeed.
The Center for Student Success is just one more way The Pennfield School is dedicated to providing our students with opportunities to reach their full potential. With support and enrichment, CSS ensures that growth is personal, meaningful, and celebrated every step of the way.
