MISSION The Storm King School, a global community, prepares students by inspiring them toward academic success and confidence in an inclusive and diverse learning environment that embraces character, balance, and trust.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAM (ASP)

The mission of the Academic Support Program (ASP) at The Storm King School mirrors that of the school itself – “To encourage students to dream big, word hard, and achieve success.”

The Academic Support Program (ASP) assists bright, college-bound students with documented (and undocumented) learning challenges, including but not limited to: • Executive Function Impairment • ADD/ADHD • Language Based Learning Disability • Specific Language Impairment • School Anxiety • Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia • Auditory Processing Difficulties

Individualized Support Students enrolled in the Academic Support Program learn about their specific learning challenges and discover effective strategies to help them grow in their academic and social pursuits.

We develop and implement a highly individualized and multisensory curriculum designed to motivate and challenge students to reach their learning goals. Students review their personal academic and achievement testing recommendations and accommodations, and together with their Academic Support teacher, design an academic plan tailored to meet their specific needs.

Continuous Evaluation and Consistent Communication Each plan is a working document that is continuously assessed and revised throughout the year. Students set, implement, and achieve both long and short term goals. They are “coached� by ASP teachers who specialize in training interventions targeting specific executive function deficits. In addition to academic coaching, ASP teachers observe students in their other classes, communicate with core subject teachers, and encourage effective study techniques.

Formal communication with parents regarding each student’s progress occurs monthly and informal communication takes place as often as is needed.

Truth, Respect, Responsibility

ASP courses, taught by teachers who are trained to work with students who have identified learning differences, use the same rigorous curriculum as SKS’s traditional classes.

ASP classes average five students and are designed to meet the specific needs of each student. Classes offer individualized attention and implement organizational strategies and flexible pedagogy designed to boost academic confidence and performance. ASP students also have access to SKS’ traditional college preparatory elective courses which include 11 AP courses.
