Learning support services are available for selected students who, in spite of their best efforts, struggle academically.

In order to be eligible for LSS, a student referral is submitted to the learning support teacher for review by the student's study team. Information will be gathered about the student through teacher and parent observation, in-house diagnostic assessment or an outside referral for testing. Following the referral process, the student study team will determine whether the student qualifies for learning support services.

The learning support services available at LAS are limited in scope and depth. In general, students may receive tutoring for writing, reading and math assignments up to one hour per day.

EFL support is available for foreign students in Grade 1 to Grade 8 for an additional fee. Support is intended to supplement regular classroom instruction.
