ACADEMIC RESOURCE

Academic Resource is dedicated to helping all ML students find success regardless of their ability levels or learning challenges. These services are designed to modify and create curricular and instructional accommodations consistent with a strong belief that “all students can learn.”  From small-group study sessions to individual educational accommodations, the highly-trained staff consistently implements quality services for our ML students. IEP reviews, grade point averages, and standardized test scores are among the indicators utilized in the implementation of this innovative program.

Tita, Class of '22

"Here teachers care about you more. They care about your feelings and how you are just doing in real life. They don't care if you just get a good grade. They care about you becoming a great person and a great Christian."

ACADEMIC INTERVENTIONS

The Academic Intervention program is designed to systematically work with students who are struggling academically. The goal is to identify and remove the roadblocks and provide the supports for academic success. Students need to make acceptable progress towards completion of the requirements for their course of study.

The system is designed to intervene as early as possible at the lowest level. Failure to achieve success will result in a move to a higher level or more specific intervention. A failure to establish a pattern of academic success may ultimately result in a request for withdrawal from the school.
