Lead Instructor, Marcus Osborne
Owner, Tutor and Trainer at The Academy, LLC
Certified Exceptional Child Education Teacher
The Academy's Manager & High School Director, Katie Stout
Marcus and Katie are our most sought after instructors - they each are the type of teacher a parent wishes for every year. The Academy Day gives your family the opportunity to have the assurance of an exceptional educator for your child throughout the middle school years with the option to continue in to high school with not only Marcus still teaching but Katie as their lead teacher.
Marcus and Katie not only have the gift of understanding how each child sees but both carry a true passion for all the subjects they teach, as well as a deep commitment to each student that passes through our doors.
In addition, Marcus has a vast array of experiences to bring to this intimate classroom setting. Marcus grew up in London, England and is fluent in French because his mother's side of the family is from the region of Burgundy. His father was a renowned architect, with projects throughout the world. Marcus has traveled extensively and even taught English in Grenada, Spain. In New York, Marcus worked on film and television series, most notably PBS educational specials. Now, he and wife, Jenny Osborne own and run The Academy and have two young girls of their own. It is also comforting to know both love their careers and it manifests in the kind of innovative and individualized services offered at what they consider to be their third child, The Academy Tutoring Center.
Katie's background is in both psychology and education -- both her parents are retired teachers so Katie has been around this field all her life -- her psychology background helps tremendously with our program for learning differences and the social work aspect inherent in teaching. She is family to us and we are thrilled our students get to have someone with the kind of care and intelligenceonly Katie gives each day without waver.
Jenny Osborne
Owner, Manager The Academy, LLC
Certified Teacher of English; Emotional Intelligence Pioneer Extensive Experience in Service Learning, Arts in Education and Financial Literacy.
Marcus and Jenny Osborne have been married since the mid 90s. They both share a profound passion for education and the different learning styles of children. They are committed to the belief every child can flourish when given the opportunity to challenge their minds through experiential learning and adequate preparation for the world that lies ahead. This includes thorough preparation for the realities of standardized testing, but without the sacrifice of the development of a true love of learning and the nurturing of natural curiosities.
GRADES
Your child will be given a progress report / report card every 12 weeks. You are welcome to schedule conferences at any point throughout the year. It must be noted because of the class size we gain an unique and intimate relationship with each family and communication truly goes on weekly whether it be by phone, email or when picking up or dropping off your child.
PRICING
$9500 per year (includes two $250 supply fees each semester)
Please take note: This tuition fee is not offered any where at this low student: teacher ratio.
Of teachers surveyed, the number one priority for them for best learning is small class size.
Please compare to other private schools in the city.
Field Trips will be an extra expense - we try to keep these outings at around $10 per trip or less.
We like to take advantage of the low class size to include as many hands-on experiences as possible.
