Learning Support

One goal of our recently approved strategic plan states that "St. Richard’s Episcopal School will enhance its comprehensive support services to address students’ needs, ensuring the school continues delivering a world-class educational experience." One advantage of our smaller class sizes is the ability to allow for a differentiated approach to learning. Learning accommodations do not fundamentally alter or lower the standards or expectations of the course or assessments, but are designed to “level the playing field” and make learning accessible for students with learning differences

Supporting the Whole Child

St. Richard’s strives to support both the academic and social-emotional needs of students. We also recognize the challenges that, at times, may make learning difficult. The faculty has dedicated significant time to remain current with research on brain development and the best practices in education. These experiences have enhanced learning for all students.

A Team-Based Approach

A Student Support Team, including learning specialists, our school counselor, student dean, and administrators, collaborates regularly to identify student needs and develop a plan to address these needs. They bring the resources of the school together to support students at the individual and group level.

Family Involvement

Parents and caregivers are an integral part of the St. Richard’s Episcopal School community and are encouraged to work collaboratively with the Student Support Team. A student, at times, presents differently at school than at home; therefore, parent insight is also essential in order for us to create an effective, holistic approach to support any child.
