Learning Services

We offer students with diagnosed learning differences a range of support and accommodations to ensure fair access to our rigorous academic program.

The main goal of learning services is to help students become strong self-advocates. Students who thoroughly understand their strengths and challenges and can articulate their needs are able to help their teachers understand how to best guide them. While we do not compromise MA graduation requirements, we offer appropriate and reasonable accommodations as recommended by a professional educational evaluator.

Accessing Learning Services

Students with a professional learning evaluation who qualify to use accommodations at MA should share their formal report with the Director of Learning Services, Rebecca Gustin.
