Educational Support
By cultivating relationships with peers and teachers over the course of their four-year journey through high school, students develop an understanding of and respect for their own capacities and gifts as well as compassion for their challenges and those of others.
Our Educational Support program encourages students with learning differences to understand their processing style and become their own advocate. We also help students to expand their executive function skills, with a focus on the development of metacognition. Our protocol is designed so that neurodivergent students receive appropriate accommodations in the classroom and on standardized tests. Sometimes the school enlists the help of specialized outside professionals.
The High School Counselor supports students’ emotional well-being and overall progress in school. She helps students make healthy choices and identify behaviors that may hinder success. There are individual and small group counseling and facilitation sessions among parents, faculty, and other individuals.
“Our rightful place as educators is to be removers of hindrances...Each child at every age brings something new to the world.”
