Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do you accommodate learning differences, i.e., the academically gifted and the educationally challenged?

Answer:

Our curriculum is designed so that all students accelerate their learning, regardless of developmental levels. Students meet performance indicators based on rigorous academic expectations.

Courses are created from LJA’s Interdisciplinary Power Standards that accelerate learning, rather than on a single class experience designed to meet the needs of the lowest achieving student. Students that need extra help will receive the support of special education and English Language Learning services, as well as sustained after-school tutoring.

Ninety minute teaching blocks provide a 25:2 student to teacher ratio which allows for maximum attention for all students in the areas of math, science, language arts and social studies.
