Students who learn differently or who have special needs
for learning are welcome at the Center and Champion Christian School.
Although our school program is established as a high quality
academic program, our developmental orientation allows for us to meet
the needs of students who learn differently or who have histories that
require special understanding and educational treatment.
We offer a variety of services to students to meet them where they are,
and there are multiple options for funding those programs should you
need financial assistance. Please make sure that you communicate
with our Administrators and Financial Aid Staff about those options.
Listed below are some of the varied
resources that we have available for families and students at CCS
should they need those services. It is very important to
understand though that all students must meet the guidelines of the CCS
Student Profile in order to be admitted to CCS.
Many of these services are available to the community as well.
Contact the Center directly for information if you are a
community member.

Tutoring:
Tutoring at the Center is available for students who are in Champion
Christian as well as enrolled in other schools. There are a
variety of ways that can be experienced through Private Academic Tutoring.
Title I tutoring, Speech Therapy, and other services are provided to students at CCS as well as testing by School Psychologists as well as other academic interventions.
Discovery: The Discovery
Program is a special program that is designed to meet very specific needs
of certain students with learning disabilities and different learning styles. The Center has also covered teacher
training expenses and other costs for this program as well as financial aid as needed. We realize that
the cost of this program is significant for the school and parents.
Working together as a team we can watch the Lord as he accomplishes His
goals for these students.
Counseling:
Counseling is provided through the Center's Licensed Professional
Counselors when needed to help with diagnosis of attention issues,
autism, mental health needs, and help with family work as needed. |
Center Discovery
Program staff are trained by the National Institute for Learning
Differences.
The Discovery program
staff have been trained by the National Institute for Learning Differences Staff (NILD)
in Norfolk, Virginia. The goal is to help children with learning difficulties
who have experienced academic frustration and/or failure in the classroom
setting. These children have average intelligence but are not able to learn by
traditional classroom instruction due to perceptual difficulties. The Discovery
students have one-on-one educational therapy sessions in their deficit areas two
times a week. Each session lasts 80 minutes and is outside the classroom
setting. The remainder of the student's schedule is spent in the regular
classroom situation. The student receives additional homework during the therapy
session, but the therapist works with the classroom teachers to adjust the daily
work load. The therapist works closely with the teacher, student, and parents to
create a support system for the child. The ultimate goal is to assist the
student in a successful learning mode and reach his full potential in the
classroom with a program that culminates between three to five years.
Tutoring Support: Specific Skill set Intervention
Regardless
of the source of funding, or which school a student is enrolled in,
trained teachers will work with classroom instructors or other
professionals to work on specific skill sets for students, to help them
with developing the skills to succeed in school. One of our greatest benefits is having a program
that is specifically designed for the Christian school setting. Educational
therapy is hard work, yet your child's self-esteem will grow as he begins to
realize the abilities that God has given him...to think and to interact
independently within the environment around him. Then, as he sees his own
success and gains self-confidence, he will grow academically.
