The Intensive Learning Support Program is designed to provide intensive educational programming to students with significant learning needs. These needs impact a student’s academic performance and social functioning. The program is designed for students who cannot make meaningful educational gains in less restrictive environments. Students eligible for the program, meet the criteria for special education services, have a disability, and have the need for remediation. The program aligns academic skill development with PA Standards. Instruction is provided through research based curricula and programs, and is provided at the student’s instructional level. Adventure-based and PEAK activities are provided to students by specially trained personnel. Students are engaged in activities that involve cooperative learning and team building skills.
