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.

The Learning Success Center at HCA opened in 2016 with a mission to meet the unique needs of every student. Grounded in the belief that each child is fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image (Psalm 139:14), the center supports students while sharing Christ’s love. Whether a student excels or faces challenges, the LSC proactively identifies needs to ensure each child remains engaged and supported on their educational journey. 

Every child is unique—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At the Learning Success Center, we nurture individual strengths and help students thrive by providing personalized support, meaningful challenges, and opportunities for growth.

In the LSC, we:

• Support and challenge students within HCA general education and curriculum standards:
  • 1:1 reading or small group pullout support
  • Small group math support
  • Social skills
  • Small group study/academic reinforcement support

•  Facilitate differentiated learning:
  • Independent Study Math or Reading/English
    • LSC teaches below or on grade level curriculum with a specialized pace and tailored delivery

• Partner with classroom teachers and administration:
  • Offer suggestions and resources for differentiation within the general education classrooms
  • Support objective assessment and calibration of curriculum
  • Collaborate with administration and teachers in the creation and implementation of 504 accommodation plans

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.

• 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.
• 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.

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.

Independent Study: Students significantly below Heritage grade level standards may qualify for an independent study taught by an LSC teacher.
