Academic Support

The Academic Skills Center (ASC) at All Saints Academy is dedicated to the success of each student.

The Academic Skills Center (ASC) at All Saints Academy is dedicated to the success of each student. Through a partnership with classroom teachers as well as families, the Academic Skills Center will work toward optimizing student growth and learning. Using teacher-led goal setting, data collection, and identification of students’ strengths and needs, the ASC will encourage students to advocate for themselves, overcome academic challenges, and realize their purpose. The ASA Academic Skills Centers’ purpose is to support student learning through accessible resources and aids to meet a student's personalized needs. Academic skills are the abilities, strategies, and habits that can help learners succeed in an academic setting.

All Saints Academy is committed to supporting students with learning differences through reasonable accommodations, particularly in the context of AP courses, in alignment with College Board guidelines. By focusing on accommodations rather than curriculum modifications, the school aims to help these students succeed while maintaining the integrity of the course content.

The goals of the Academic Skills Center are to:

  • develop self-aware, determined and proactive learners who advocate for their needs
  •  encourage students to identify and understand their strengths and embrace challenges as learning opportunities
  •  support students in accessing the resources they need to flourish.

 

The responsibilities of the ASC are:  

  • to coordinate appropriate and manageable accommodations
  • to promote in organization, time management and study skills
  •  to communicate with local professionals regarding evaluations and recommendations
  • to provide professional development for teachers regarding differentiation of curriculum and instruction
  •  to coordinate tutoring

Accommodations will only be established with current documentation that meets the following requirements:

  • Contains a statement addressing the student’s specific diagnosis

  • Addresses relevant educational, developmental, and medical history of the student

  • Includes test scores/measures of cognitive and academic testing and a narrative description of the results

  • Defines functional limitations supported by the test results

  • Describes the specific accommodations recommended and a rationale for how the accommodations support the diagnosis

  • States the professional credentials of the tester

 

Accommodations may look different for each division. Below are examples of appropriate and manageable accommodations depending on which diagnoses were listed by the medical professional.
