Academic Support

Saint Mary’s College High School seeks to educate the whole person by addressing the needs of all types of learners. We welcome students with unique learning needs and offer programs designed to empower students to advocate for their academic success. Our program encourages a student’s journey towards academic growth by fostering a partnership among the student, parent, and school .
Our program supports students who have mild/moderate documented learning disabilities or medical/physical needs that require classroom accommodations. We follow the guidelines set by the College Board for students with learning disabilities and attention deficits . The student, parent(s) and Academic Support Specialist develop an Educational Care Plan which contains information about the student’s diagnosis, the student’s strengths and areas to strengthen, and a list of approved accommodations . Students have meetings with the Academic Support Specialist throughout the year. The meetings are designed to address each student’s needs, as well as promote self-awareness and advocacy skills .
