Learning Support
Every student learns differently. Our learning support specialist provides in-school accommodations, tutoring assistance, and diagnostic screening as needed.
Our staff can also offer referrals for psychoeducational evaluations to determine the need for extra academic support.
Cardinal Gibbons offers learning support to our students in several ways: curriculum assistance, limited testing accommodations, preferential classroom seating, and in special cases, writing in the test booklet and use of computer.
How we can help
Students requesting accommodations at Cardinal Gibbons must complete the online Application for Learning Support. Documentation to be submitted must include the following:
- a signed release of records,
- a copy of a complete current diagnostic evaluation administered within the last three years,
- any IEP, 504, or School Service Plan demonstrating a need for service and regular use of accommodations,
- standardized test scores,
- most recent report card.
A student’s application will be reviewed after all materials are submitted to determine eligibility for accommodation.
Any student’s IEP, 504 Plan, Student Service Plan, Transitory Impairment documentation, or other medical note may not limit a student’s ability to obey school rules and complete all course requirements.
As a college preparatory program, Cardinal Gibbons will not make modifications to academic content. As a private institution, Cardinal Gibbons High School is not required to provide any specific special education services; however, to assist students in developing independent, life-long skills, a curriculum assistance class and limited testing accommodations are available for those who qualify.
