Devoted to Academic Success

School faculty works collaboratively to develop an annual Student Support Plan for each student by identifying their specific strengths and weaknesses. Class placement, resources, and goals are determined based on the student’s profile to match their individual learning styles while employing resources that help that student achieve academic success. Modifications to the educational program may include changes in curriculum, supplemental materials or equipment, and the provision of specialized physical adaptations that fully allow students to participate in the educational environment.
