The Academic Resource Center at Mount Vernon Presbyterian Upper School consults with families to ensure that students grades 9 through 12 have access to the tools and opportunities they need to realize maximum academic success.

Our academic resource specialists collaborate with parents, teachers, and students to develop appropriate instructional and behavioral strategies as well as to offer referrals for additional support available in the community, such as private tutoring, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and psycho-educational testing.

Additionally, our academic resource specialists collaborate with teachers to outline appropriate classroom accommodations and instructional strategies for students with current psycho-educational evaluations on file with the school. Specialists also monitor students’ progress throughout the school year and provide various levels of direct support as needed.

At the Upper School level, students are encouraged to strengthen their self-advocacy skills and continue to develop their study habits. 

Academic Resource Specialists continue to provide resources and advisement to students and parents concerning testing accommodations, college planning and tutoring and other services available in the community.
