Academics
Academic Learning Center
Welcome
The Academic Learning Center is a place where students seek academic reinforcement and/ or resources to support them in their learning. This is a important space in our community where students with additional learning needs can receive instructional accommodations and study skills support.
We are proud to have a full-time Special Education teacher on our faculty who works closely with our students with IEP or 504 plans, and also supports our faculty in utilizing best practices in the classroom to support all students. We also have Math and ELA intervention specialists and after school tutors who provide further support to students that may need extra assistance.
A dedicated testing room provides a quiet separate space to meet testing accommodations detailed in student learning plans.
