Learning Support

Academic Learning Center

The Academic Learning Center provides educational support to students at all skill levels. Services are available for subject-specific support, writing skills improvement, reading comprehension, test-taking strategies, time management, and study skills. The Center also assists the student to facilitate peer or faculty tutoring, if needed.

The Learning Center assists students through positive encouragement and the development of relationships with students who may become discouraged or overwhelmed with the demands of academic classes. Students receive support and instruction on specific skill sets through an integrated skills curriculum. We strive to help learners become more motivated, to better understand their learning process, to recall more material, and apply what they have learned through increased comprehension, concept mastery, reading and writing practice, note-taking, organization, time management, brain-based learning techniques, and learning-style strategies.
 
Communication with academic teachers, advisors, residential faculty, and parents of “contracted” students happens on a regular basis and provides ongoing feedback on student progress.
