Academic Well-Being

Academic support, based on current brain research, is provided by learning specialists in all three divisions. This includes working with boys who have Individual Education Plans (IEP) or boys who need some individual attention in a specific subject or with a particular assignment.

Our learning specialists also work with teachers to ensure that appropriate learning and testing accommodations are put in place in the classroom for boys with IEPs. Strategies to develop skills in organization, planning, time management, and study and test-taking skills are available to all boys. Services include:

Individualized support
Small group support
Classroom support
Parent partnership
Teacher education and partnership
Occupational and speech therapy (Lower School)
Peer tutoring
Outside referrals for assessments

Accommodations for Boys on IEPs
It is assumed that every student who is enrolled at Crescent School is able to meet the School's academic expectations. For this reason, we will make accommodations, but not change the curriculum for boys on IEPs. IEPs are developed for boys who have psychological-educational assessments or a medical diagnosis that identifies them as exceptional learners. Documentation must be provided by an educational psychologist or a medical professional describing the exceptionality, the necessary accommodations, and why they are needed.
