The Secondary Learning Support department at AISA supports students with mild or moderate learning difficulties. The Learning Support department also accepts some students who are struggling academically as evidenced by MAP and CAT-4 scores and student grades. Students receive differentiated support in several ways: in small groups, divided by gender and grade; individually with one on one sessions during the school day; and suitable assessment accommodations if necessary.

Students with diagnosed learning disabilities receive an individual education plan that is developed by the Learning Support department, with feedback from the students, teachers, and parents. The plan is reviewed and amended on a regular basis as students make progress on their academic and behavioral goals. Additionally, Learning Support works with regular classroom teachers to implement required accommodations based on student needs.
