Who We Are
The Learning Success Center cultivates student success by supporting and challenging our students. To cultivate implies to promote or improve the growth of a plant with labor and attention. Just as a plant needs such attention, so does a child. The mission of the LSC is to equip our students to grow and blossom academically, socially, spiritually, and physically into the unique individuals God created each of them to be.
Vision
Founder and Director Stephanie Andreotti (formerly Mosset) opened the Learning Success Center at HCA in 2016. Mrs. Andreotti has dedicated her teaching career to meeting the unique and individual needs of all students, and she strongly believes that no child fits in one box. It was her dream to be able to meet student needs while at the same time sharing her love of Christ.
As a private Christian school, Heritage is positioned to offer quality, tailored education all within a Christ-centered environment. From a highly capable student to a student who is struggling, the goal of the LSC is to identify needs proactively before the student becomes disengaged or fails.

our programs
Learning Success Center programs are offered at an additional fee.
Differentiated Learning Plans: We offer accommodation and modification plans that meet the unique and individual needs of our students.
Pull-Out and Push-In Support: The LSC offers one-on-one and small group instruction for students needing additional support or challenge in academic areas. This includes enrichment and remediation. These groups meet in the general classroom or in the LSC. We can create a plan designed to meet your child's unique academic needs.
Social Skills Support: The LSC offers several curriculum programs designed to support individual or small groups of students with navigating and growing social skills.
Independent Study: Students significantly above or below Heritage grade level standards may qualify for an independent study taught by an LSC teacher.
Advanced Math Placement: Here at HCA, we offer math advanced placement options for first grade through middle school, including in-center instruction as well as having students attend a different grade.
Middle School Study Labs: Reading, Math, and Study skill labs are available for middle school students during electives. Students will receive academic support from LSC teachers based on individual need. Contact your student's teacher for more information.
Tutoring Services: The LSC provides fee-based tutoring before and after school.
Differentiated Learning Plans: We offer accommodation and modification plans that meet the unique and individual needs of our students.
- 504 Accommodation Plans: The Individual Accommodation Plan, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, was created as part of the Disability Act by the federal government. At HCA, a 504 plan outlines how your child’s specific needs are met through accommodations. A 504 a does not change any academic standards. The goal of this 504 is to cultivate success for a student within the general education classroom(s) with accommodations to support differentiated learning. To qualify, students must have a medical diagnosis that impacts equitable learning.
- Individual Growth Plans (IGP): This plan changes HCA curriculum and/or grade level standards. The goal of this plan is to create an individual pathway for students who cannot achieve success with just a 504 plan. An IGP would be comprised of individualized academic or behavioral standards specific to each qualified student. Participation in this plan requires administrative approval. Students must have either a medical diagnosis that impacts equitable learning or an academic deficit of more than one grade level, as evidenced by standardized testing, HCA grades and performance, and/or teacher feedback.
- Public School District/Outside 504s and IEPs: While the team will read through the school district documentation that families provide, some recommendations made on these reports are not applicable to or feasible for the programming and academic standards at Heritage Christian Academy. Any IEP or 504 accommodation plan from another school, public or private, will need to be converted into a Heritage Christian plan that is specific to the programming and offerings that HCA can provide.
