Academic Success

Encinitas Country Day School has established its “Academic Success Center” (ASC), to support students in achieving their potential. The Academic Success Coordinator (also ASC) collaborates with teachers and parents to develop strategies to support students in their classrooms and beyond. The Academic Success Center provides programs to assist students in meeting educational goals. Whether the goals call for intervention or accelerated instruction, it is important to identify individual needs in a timely and appropriate manner. As a licensed educational psychologist, the Academic Success Coordinator (ASC) provides professional oversight and direction to a process aimed at timely identification of student differences and individual needs. This process also includes a careful exploration of classroom strategies as well as an evaluation of the school’s ability to provide support to meet individual needs. When outside services are called for, timely referral and assessment procedures keep educational goals in focus and allow the school to better serve its students.Contact the Academic Success Coordinator or stop by the Academic Success Room to set up a time to meet with the Academic Success Coordinator.
