The Academy
The Academy is available for all students at Louisburg (unlike Learning Partners students, who must have documented learning disabilities in order to enroll into its program).

Each student is assigned an individual Learning Specialist, who gets the opportunity to get to know the student as an individual and as a thinker. This vital information helps determine how the individual student performs under given circumstances (such as reading assignments and different testing conditions). The Academy then offers techniques and strategies which allow the student to become better prepared for class work assignments, tests, and papers.

The student enrolled in The Academy meets with a Learning Specialist for at least two (2) one-on-one sessions per week that last for one hour. The student may also schedule additional sessions on a first-come, first-served basis. During the tutoring sessions, any subject may be covered; the student determines what subject he or she needs to work on. The time is completely dedicated to the needs of the student. Furthermore, because The Academy charges a fee for its services, the times a student schedules with the Learning Specialist are guaranteed for only that student.

The Academy leads to student success. During the Fall 2001 semester, 5 of the 15 students in The Academy made the Honor Roll (33% had a G.P.A. of 3.0-3.5). That is success. The Academy has room in the future for you.
