Special Programs

Available to any student for a fee Any student, with or without testing, who requires subject-area academic support may request a tutor. These tutors are paid for by the family, but are vetted by Williston and can work with students on campus before or after school or during students’ free periods. Parents may request a tutor by contacting the Director of Academic Support. The Williston Scholars program allows students to pursue their individual academic and creative passions through a trimester of directed project work in a field of interest. Students in each department-specific Williston Scholars class engage as a cohort in self-chosen research projects under the close mentorship and instruction of a Williston faculty member. Students are guided through the steps of project development, research, implementation, and ultimately, presentation. Students also connect with content experts both inside the school and out, drawing resources from the intellectual wealth of the Pioneer Valley’s colleges and universities. Students with exemplary projects will be eligible for special recognition and departmental honors.
