We invite our families and students to partner together with our teachers to help them achieve academic success aligned with their ability. Sarasota Christian School’s Learning Support offers services to help students improve their academic performance. Fees may apply.
The support services are as follows:
Support Services for Students K to 5th Grade
- Parents, teachers and administrators work together to provide support according to each child’s needs. Participation in some learning support options are dependent upon on availability.
-
In-class provision of IEP/504 accommodations -
Small group or individual assistance with an educational assistant or an intervention teacher -
After school tutoring by an SCS teacher (additional fee)
-
Availability of on campus speech and occupational therapy services (contracts independently with families and Sarasota County Schools)
Learning Services for Middle School Students (MATH and English only)
-
A certified teacher will meet with students daily to work with students in a small group, as determined by teacher recommendation, course grades, testing data and the Academic Leadership Team
-
Learning Services will focus on identifying, supporting and filling specific skill gaps with the intention of gaining enough proficiency to graduate students out of their support services
-
The Academic Team will make sure IEP/504 accommodations are being implemented in the classroom dependent upon availability
-
The length of time that a student will remain in the program will be determined by the classroom teacher, Learning Services Teacher, and the Academic Leadership Team -
Quarterly progress report detailing progress in the support courses
Individualized Subject Area Tutoring
- Students and parents who are eligible to receive the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities will be required to provide a current copy of the student’s IEP, 504, Service Plan or private psychoeducational evaluation at the time of application.
- Students seeking a private school education that are recipients of the FES-UA Scholarship are considered “parentally placed private school children with disabilities.”
- “Parentally placed private school children with disabilities” do not have the same individual rights to special education and the related services that students are entitled to receive if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) evaluation.
- SCS can accept students whose educational needs can be met by the school.
