student support

Deep learning requires patience, creativity, reflection, and practice. College Prep faculty are available to support individual students’ learning and emotional needs throughout their high school journey.

counseling

Counseling and health education are key features of the school’s comprehensive support structures. College Prep’s full-time counselor is available to students, parents, faculty, and staff for brief counseling, referrals, and consultation. The counselor meets individually with all incoming students as part of their transition to College Prep. Students may self-refer to counseling or be referred by teachers, administrators, advisors, or parents. 

peer tutors

College Prep has peer tutoring programs in history, math, science, writing, and world languages. Faculty mentors train dedicated eleventh and twelfth graders who offer one-on-one meetings and group workshops throughout the year. Mentors help their peers prepare for tests, review homework problems, and reinforce new concepts from class.

learning center

The Learning Center is a dedicated space in the heart of campus where students get support from two full-time subject specialists through one-on-one consultations, workshops, and peer tutoring. The Director of Learning Services provides support for students with study skills, time management, organization, and stress reduction. The Math and Science Learning Specialist provides one-on-one and group support for STEM classes. The Learning Center is available to all students.

  • Accessing Accommodations at College Prep

    In order to access accommodations at College Prep, a student must have a formal diagnosis and documentation that meets the following criteria. These are standard criteria used across many educational and testing settings to determine eligibility for accommodations. The documentation must:
    1. State the specific disability as diagnosed: The diagnosis should be made by a person with appropriate professional credentials and should relate the disability to the applicable professional standards (typically DSM-V).
    2. Be current: The diagnostic testing should have occurred within five years of the request for accommodations. For psychiatric diagnoses, an annual evaluation update must be within 12 months of the request for accommodations.
    3. Provide relevant educational, developmental and medical history.
    4. Describe the comprehensive testing and techniques used to arrive at the diagnosis. Include test results with subtest scores for all tests.
    5. Describe the functional limitations. Explain how the disability impacts the student’s daily functioning.
    6. Describe the requested accommodations, including the amount of extended time required, with a rationale connecting each accommodation to the functional limitation.
    7. Establish the professional credentials of the evaluator (license, certification).
    For other conditions that impact learning but do not fall under the Learning Differences category, please contact the Director of Learning Services to discuss relevant documentation and next steps.
The support system at College Prep is unlike any I've seen before. Not only do I have friends and peers who can help me sort out an especially challenging math problem, but my teachers always make time if I request to meet. First and foremost, the community here cares about your health and happiness, not just your academic performance."
