Student Support
At Our Lady’s Academy we work diligently to provide the support that is necessary to help our students to succeed to the best of their abilities.
For the child that may need additional support both in or out of the classroom, we have a specialist teacher that is specifically trained to work with children that need additional instruction. For the students that can handle more advanced work, we have an advanced math program that allows students to be instructed either in their own classroom with the teacher differentiating instruction or to move to another classroom that suits the child’s level. Reading instruction for all children is individualized with the students reading at his or her instructional reading level.
We also have a Student support Team made up of the Principal, Director of Instruction and teachers representing a variety of grades. The purpose of this team is to support teachers in their work with children by recommending strategies, materials, and other interventions as needed on a case-by-case basis.
