Special Needs
With parents' input, we strive to meet each student's special learning needs determining the most appropriate model for instruction:
  • Whenever possible, a child will be placed with an age appropriate Religious Education class with mentor support and/or modifications as needed.

  • A self-contained class with no more than five students (each with mentor support) might provide the best environment to meet the student's needs.

  • A trained catechist may be assigned to work with a child in a one-on-one program with mentor support for the student

  • A teen mentor may provide support for a teenager in the Life Teen program.

  • Parents can obtain instructional materials for use at home with their child, under the guidance and support of a trained teacher or mentor
