School Programs
Academic Program
The academic program offers courses designed to challenge students in traditional areas as well as a range of elective courses in order to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Individual and small group tutorials are provided for students who require more remedial instruction. Tutorials are conducted by trained faculty in conjunction with the student's individual learning style assessment using techniques such as the Wilson Learning Systems and Renaissance Programs approach to reading. Small classes, prescriptive tutoring, computer assisted instruction, and a multisensory approach in teaching contribute to students' educational growth and help increase their self-esteem.

Through small group and individualized instruction, the student will be assisted in reaching his/her academic, social, vocational, and physical potential.
