Academic Support
Unique and capable
Wesleyan is committed to supporting every student as they develop into independent learners. Whether your child needs reading support, math guidance, or executive skills instruction, academic support programs exist to help your child meet the demands of Wesleyan's academic standard of excellence. The academic support team leads executive skill workshops and study skill lessons for all students in grades 2-12 and offers tiered, fee-based support for a variety of schedules for students in middle and high school through the Academic Resource Center.
Academic Resource Center
Designed to support students as they become independent learners, the Academic Resource Center (ARC) helps students meet their potential as they continue to meet the demands of a Wesleyan education. ARC offerings focus on executive functions, self-advocacy, study skills, and systems for academic independence. Many - but not all - of the ARC offerings require a pyscho-educational evaluation and active learning profile.
Although our son was apprehensive at first, he soon realized the habits he was learning in ARC were equipping him with tools he needed for success not only in high school but also college and beyond.Wesleyan Parent
Guidance for ALL Students
Parent Guidance
The academic support team offers parent education courses throughout the year. Not only do these courses equip parents with strategies to support their child at home, the courses also create space to fellowship with other parents. Topics may include parenting a child with ADHD, incorporating planning in family life, understanding the importance of executive skills in life and learning, and more.
Faculty Development
In addition to directly supporting students, the academic support team works to equip all faculty members with the latest research and strategies to support all learners in their classrooms, including those with learning differences. Faculty engage in book studies, regularly connect with colleagues to exchange best practices, and attend conferences and workshops to strengthen their toolkit.

Academic Accommodations
While the academic support team offers programs and guidance for students with learning differences and their families, the counseling team facilitates psycho-educational testing and approves all physical, instructional, or behavioral accommodations that Wesleyan offers.
