LEARNING TOGETHER MISSION:
At Learning Together, our mission is to provide students with the resources they need to succeed in school and ultimately, in life.
Hands Across the World collaborates with St. Cloud School District 742 and United Way in a community initiative called "Partners for Student Success." The mission for this program is "to prepare all learners in partnership with their families and community to live and contribute within a changing and diverse world." Parents and their children are invited to come after school to continue their education with one-on-one tutoring.
"Our tutoring program is aimed at helping the children of our adult students develop social emotional skills as positive identity and academic success toward a lifelong learning." In our program, Kindergarten through Eight grade students focus on academic Math and English literacy.

READING TUTORS
The purpose of our reading program is to increase understanding and critical thinking to develop confidence and test-taking skills. As well as future leaders.
PROGRAM CONCENTRATION
We test student’s multiple times from the beginning of the tutoring experience with administered, real practice tests. Practicing on real tests is not only the best way to improve scores, but also the best way to reduce any anxiety on the actual test day. We also update parents with the results from the practice tests, so they can monitor their student’s progress.
