Specialized Learning Center
Every student is uniquely created and endowed with potential
The Specialized Learning Center (SLC) partners with families to serve and support students with diverse learning needs. Through both the Academic Success Center (ASC) and the Focus Learning Center (FLC), students are nurtured, encouraged, challenged, and equipped to achieve their best—living out the truth of Psalm 139:14—that they are “fearfully and wonderfully made.”
“We don’t see our students as having a ceiling. It’s amazing what they can do; they surprise us with their potential.”

Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center (ASC) is designed to support and equip students with documented learning disabilities, ADHD, or processing challenges. While these students have the ability to learn, they may face specific academic struggles. Our mission is to encourage students who may have grown discouraged by helping them discover their God-given strengths and equipping them with effective learning strategies. When students are guided in this way, they often begin to thrive. We are committed to walking alongside each student, helping them grow in both confidence and capability.
