Because MBA has not made adequate yearly progress (AYP) in increasing student academic achievement for three consecutive years, students who qualify for free or reduced priced lunch may apply for free tutoring in Reading, Mathematics and Science through Supplemental Educational Services (SES). Sessions are provided after school, on weekends or during the summer by Pennsylvania Department of Education approved providers. The providers work to help students build and strengthen the skills they'll need to be successful.
Before you apply:
- Review the list of providers, which you can view by clicking here
- For a description of the providers or help making a choice, talk with providers over the telephone or arrange to meet with them to discuss your child's needs.
- Contact the SES Coordinator, Nina Torres, at 215-291-4436 x501 if you would like more help to choose a provider.
How are parents notified about SES?
Parents are notified via U.S. Mail. Inside the packet will be a letter notifying the parent of the progress of their child's school, information on SES, information on SES providers, as well as an application to apply and an envelope to return the application to the school.
- SES information will be posted on our website.
- SES information packets will be available at the front desk area at school
- MBA will promote the program within the school building and administrative offices.
For more information on Supplemental Educational Services, please call 215-291-4436 x501.
