We value and find joy in knowing that our students at all ages and stages grow and develop at their own pace as they work towards common standards and goals established within our rigorous program.
To support the individual growth of each child, empowering them to achieve their dreams and lead meaningful lives.”Our Vision

Learning Specialist Roles
Consultant
Learning Specialists will consult with teachers on strategies to use in the classroom to support and enrich the student's academic experience.
Collaborator
Learning Specialists will collaborate with classroom teachers on instructional practices, intervention, enrichment implementation, and accommodations.
Interventionist
Learning Specialists will design and implement intensive interventions and enrichment.
The Learning Lab provides services through our highly qualified Learning Specialists in Lower, Middle, and High School. General services include consultation, co-teaching, push-in support, or intensive intervention. Learning Specialists work with the child's educational team, which may include learning specialists, classroom teachers, counselors, outside specialists, and families, to develop and implement an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP). The ILP outlines the child's current performance, areas of need, learning support services, and accommodations needed. Utilizing these plans, we seek to provide an educational program that both challenges and supports each of our students.
