At Court Hill College, we believe every student has the potential to excel. That’s why our Learning Support programme is not an afterthought—it’s an essential part of our commitment to Total Child Development undergirded by TWICE, CREDITS, and the Round Square IDEALS.
Flexible, Personalized Support
We employ a diverse range of strategies tailored to individual needs:
- Differentiated Instruction: Teachers adapt methods, content, and assessments to suit each student's learning style and pace, ensuring comprehension and engagement.
- Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): Developed collaboratively with educators, parents, and support staff for students with unique learning needs, defining goals and accommodations.
- Small Group Instruction: Enables focused teaching where students receive targeted guidance based on their academic progress.
- Dedicated Learning Support Programmes: Specialized focus areas include literacy, numeracy, executive function, study skills, and more.
Technology & Skills Building
- Assistive Technologies: Tools like text-to-speech software, graphic organizers, and speech recognition systems foster independence and accessibility.
- Study Skills & Organization Workshops: We empower students with strategies for note-taking, test prep, goal-setting, and time management.
- Peer Tutoring & Mentorship: Older students guide younger peers, strengthening both academic understanding and community bonds.
Holistic Support Focus
- Counseling & Emotional Support: On-site counselors guide students through social, emotional, and academic challenges.
- Collaborative Professional Growth: Teachers and support staff engage in training on inclusive education, differentiated instruction, and emerging best practices.
