Learning Center

The Learning Center (LC) is an open venue for all students who face significant challenges in their academic courses as well as for students who are seeking learning strategies that might enhance their performance in their classes. The Learning Center is located in the Academic Building, and King’s students typically view the LC as a welcoming environment staffed by helpful and knowledgeable adults

The LC’s overarching mission is to equip students with the learning skills they need to succeed and to help foster their ability for independent learning. It is the aim of the LC to empower students to advocate for themselves so that they better understand their own specific learning needs. Our hope is that the work of the Learning Center will lay the groundwork for continued academic success after they have moved on from King’s,

The Learning Center’s primary function is to ensure that students with diagnosed learning needs receive their prescribed accommodations so that they are able to realize their potential. All diagnostic reports are maintained in confidential files, and the director of the LC creates a learning profile for the individual student that is shared with the student’s teachers. For the students with accommodations the LC provides one-on-one meetings to help with study skills, time management, note-taking, reading and test-taking skills.. The learning Center faculty works closely with the teachers and parents of students who have accommodations to ensure that there is a team approach and a comprehensive plan for the students’ growth and improvement.

The types and frequency of the services provided to each student vary according to the individual’s needs. Levels of service provided by the King’s Academy Learning Center are determined through assessment by the head of the Learning Center, the dean of academic affairs and the student’s teachers in consultation with the parents.

All students have access to the resources the LC offers, and students do not have to have prescribed accommodations to benefit from the offerings of the LC.
