Academic Support

The Academic Support Program at Concord Christian School began in the fall of 2019 with a desire to help struggling students become successful. The program has rapidly expanded over the past few years and continues to help a significant number of students make gains and meet goals. 

Academic Support serves students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, and students are only eligible for support services if they have had an outside educational evaluation by an educational psychologist. The academic support staff use the psychoeducational evaluation to determine intervention needs and appropriate classroom and testing accommodations. An exception to this guideline would be very young students, typically grades K-1st, that may not be old enough to have diagnostic testing. Educational evaluations must be completed every 3 years to be considered current.

Students who qualify for academic support receive a support plan created by the Director of Academic Support. The support plan documents the student’s diagnosis, current areas of concern, a service plan (days/times of pull-out intervention), and classroom and testing accommodations. 

Students with medical diagnosis such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, visual impairment, deafness, and other health impairments that impact learning may qualify for a support plan without a full educational evaluation. 

Since Academic Support at Concord Christian School is an additional service, it has an additional cost. The Director of Academic Support will suggest the level of support that is needed on an individual basis.
