Learning Support & Resouces
Our school philosophy states that we encourage each child to achieve success according to his or her own potential.
Our Learning Support Center provides more options for our students, including differentiated instruction to meet individual, unique learning styles and strengths.
During small group instruction in the Learning Support Center, adaptations are able to be made to the curriculum along with using a variety of teaching strategies to provide extra support, as well as enrichment opportunities.
It is the goal of the Learning Support Center to aide student achievement and individual academic goals. Previously learned skills are reinforced, with a focus on meeting current grade level expectations, helping to build independent learners. Ongoing evaluation of each student’s progress is provided, thereby enabling each student to have success and challenge in learning.
The Learning Support Coordinator’s role is to provide support to students, teachers, parents, and administration by working collaboratively to develop ways to reach all children within a stimulating environment in which to grow and learn, share their own individual gifts, and feel a sense of accomplishment.
As children of God, every student is deserving of an opportunity for the best Catholic education possible. Our Learning Support program allows us to strive to accept everyone for whom an appropriate program, based upon individual needs, can be designed and implemented.
