The Butterfly Effect

Exploring with purpose

Community oriented
Students are paired based on instructional level, age range, and personalities to create an encouraging group learning dynamic. There have been many fast friendships formed in our group journeys over the years. We also offer 1-1 sessions if that format better fits your child’s needs.
Led by experts
Every session is led by a highly trained, empathetic intervention specialist who helps lead the students on their path of discovery. Each location also works as a team to support all students, so your child gets access to multiple specialists to ensure they make significant, documented academic progress.
High dosage
Best results are seen with consistency. You will be able to select a Mon/Weds or Tues/Thurs journey for your student. If you want a higher dosage, you can book as many 1-1 sessions your child needs a week.
Results-Oriented
Since our founding in 2018, every single Redwood student has made documented academic progress. We work with you and your child’s school team to ensure that results are achieved and communicated to all key stakeholders.
