About Our Beginning
Our company began with our founder Candice Lapin. Years ago she built a reputation for taking the most academically challenged students and turning them around. She could also take the brightest children to a different level in their studies, helping them to accelerate their learning.
What was the secret to Candice’s success with students?
She wanted to impact as many students that came across her path. She wanted to teach skills that could help students navigate their life with more ease in and out of the classroom.
How could she bottle her Holistic process and approach to learning and life so parents knew they were getting the same edge even if they were not able to work with her directly?
She understood that what was missing from learning—a unified approach and mindset that was easiest for students to understand, internalize, and master.
The Ladder Method was born out of that very question. Although our program started with just 8-12 skills, our programs and curriculums now encompass over 35 skills that simplify routines, learning, and executive functioning tools.
Each one of our coaches, instructors, and tutors teaches your child the original core 8-12 tenets of Candice’s Ladder Method just as she would tailor to each individual situation.
Our programs range from study skills to Executive Functioning skills, to writing workshops and even Social-Emotional learning!
Our families get our best practices in a set of weekly appointments in the same style as Candice because each coach, instructor, and content tutor undergoes a rigorous training program before they are placed in the field.
Our story begins with a mission to help each student that works with us achieve their highest potential. We know that starts with us.
