Frequently Asked Questions

 

🎓 How do academics work within the Conservatory?

At SRTI Conservatory, we support a variety of academic paths. Most of our students are enrolled in online or homeschool programs, and we provide dedicated time each day for students to complete coursework with guidance and accountability.

 

📚 Do you provide academic curriculum?

We are happy to help guide families in selecting or building an academic curriculum if needed. However, we typically find the most successful structure is when students are already enrolled in an established online or homeschool program, which we then support and tutor throughout the day.

 

👩‍🏫 Who are the tutors?

Our academic support is led by experienced tutors who are current and former teachers, with strong backgrounds in education. They work closely with students to ensure structure, progress, and accountability in their academic work.
