Peterson Learning Support Program

Philosophy and Purpose
The Albuquerque Academy Peterson Learning Support Program is designed to help meet the individual learning needs of students at Albuquerque Academy. The Program exists because Albuquerque Academy seeks to offer all its students, including those with special learning needs, every opportunity to succeed academically and to take full advantage of the extensive and varied course offerings available to them. The essential nature of the academic program at Albuquerque Academy, however, has not and will not change; it remains one of rigorous preparation for success in college and beyond.

Albuquerque Academy recognizes the following:

  • Each student is a unique learner and that each brings to the community individual gifts and talents, which enrich the group as a whole.
  • Students benefit academically when they understand their learning needs and they possess strong self-advocacy skills.
  • Its ethical responsibility to provide reasonable educational accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for students diagnosed with special learning needs.

Students Served
Academic accommodations are offered to students meeting diagnostic criteria for specific learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and/or other medical or psychological conditions.

  • Study skills
