Academic Support

Saint Joseph Catholic School believes that every child is unique. We strive to support each child to develop to his/her fullest potential. Students are given assistance in understanding their own unique learning preferences. Teachers utilize a variety of differentiated teaching methods to engage the students throughout the day.

We endeavor to meet the needs of all learners and realize that some students have more unique challenges than others. When a student demonstrates academic challenges, our teachers and administrators collaborate with parents to develop a course of action designed to enhance student success.

Our program is designed to meet the diverse learning needs of all of our students. Eligible students receive accommodations specifically selected to enhance his/her learning experience. Some of our offerings include: individual and small group instruction; peer mentor assistance; printed teacher notes; extended time; preferential seating; differentiated assignments; oral administration of tests; computer-based instruction; and behavior modification plans.

The Student Support Services program at Saint Joseph Catholic School includes a special education teacher who works with students, parents, and teachers to aid those who require accommodations and have an assistance plan in attaining success in the general education classroom. This program includes students receiving a scholarship through Exceptional SC. In order to accommodate the needs of all students at all stages of learning, we will limit the number of students who receive these services. This limit will vary by grade level and slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Saint Joseph School is committed to growing each child to their fullest potential as we develop the next generation of Catholic leaders. Our program firmly believes in the words spoken by George Evans “Every student can learn. Just not on the same day or in the same way.” Should you have further questions about our program, please contact our Director of Support Services, Mrs. Stacy Carns scarns@stjosdevine.com.
