What is the Upward Learning Program?

The Upward Learning Program is designed to meet the academic needs of students who are:

  • performing at grade levels no less than 1.0 in any subject
  • performing up to 2 grade levels below peers
  • and have a current psychological/educational evaluation

The ratio of teacher to students in this self contained classroom is no more than 1:6; allowing the teacher to interact and work closely with each student. The curriculum addresses cognitive, auditory, and visual processing deficits through a multisensory approach using manipulatives. National Institute of Learning Development techniques, Feuerstein mediated learning questioning methods and reseach-proven teaching practices.

Upon admission to the program, students are formally assessed using various testing instruments to determine reading level and other academic levels. A report card is issued each nine weeks as outlined in Northlake Christian School policy.
