Learning Specialist

SCIS-HIS has a learning resource specialist to address the needs of students requiring more individualized programs (for gifted needs or mild learning needs). SCIS is not staffed or equipped to support children with severe learning disabilities or severe physical handicaps. The school requires that the student must be able to independently participate in all subjects and may deny enrollment based on these considerations, or dis-enroll students for whom SCIS-HIS later determines it cannot provide an appropriate program for.  SCIS-HIS may refer students to specialists for testing.  An educational psychologist is available for program evaluation and student assessments. The school will consider enrolling students who display a desire and motivation to succeed and whose learning differences the school has judged are within a framework the school can address.
