Academic Support Center
Academic Support Center focuses on programs for students K-12th grade who learn differently.
Heritage Christian School recognizes that the Lord has created each child uniquely, with their own gifts, talents, and abilities. Heritage believes that a rigorous Christian education should be available to all students, and the mission of the Academic Support Center is to equip students identified with learning challenges to succeed both academically and in life as independent learners.
Our Educational Therapists are trained through the National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) in identifying and developing personalized success plans for a student’s unique learning needs. Because of the brain’s continuous capacity for change, Educational Therapy can be effective at any age.
Hello, I’m
Sherry Crowell
the Director of the Academic Support Center. I look forward to working with you and your student to achieve academic success.
We are here to help.
Whether your student has an IEP or needs intervention with a specific subject, Heritage Christian School can help with most of your child’s needs.
