Academic Support

ABOUT THE JCCHS DEPARTMENT OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT

The John Carroll Department of Academic Support believes that learning should be an active partnership. Through interactions with teachers, parents, peers, and support personnel, students learn that they are able to be successful in the face of adversity. In order to become independent, a student must:

Understand their strengths and challenges
Learn how to use their strengths and access necessary resources in order to overcome their challenges
Collaborate effectively with peers and adults
Set personal goals
Advocate for themselves

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.1 Thessalonians 5:11
