St. Ignatius' Student Support Services is a collaborative effort between the administration, parents and other educators to create an environment that promotes student achievement. We believe that every child CAN learn in his or her own unique way. With different learning styles comes a need for differentiated instruction and support. Through our academic support programs, we offer individualized instruction to students with identified diverse learning needs. As a school rooted in the Catholic faith, we are committed to providing an educational environment that is safe, inclusive, and strives to meet the needs of all learners.
