Learning Support

Learning Support Services

At RPCS, our mission in learning support is to empower every student to understand their unique learning needs and to advocate for themselves on their educational paths. We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students can develop effective learning strategies tailored to their individual strengths and challenges. Through collaboration, personalized guidance, and skill building, we aim to inspire confidence, resilience, and a lifelong curiosity for learning in every student.

Students are empowered to access curriculum content through a strengths-based approach. By being aware of their own strengths, skillsets, talents, and abilities, students are able to learn the content in the way(s) that work best for them. Emboldened by a growth mindset, students are encouraged to understand their potential is guided by what they can accomplish, not by deficits or weaknesses.

Students progress from higher to lower levels of support as they get closer to graduation so that they are ready to successfully meet the challenges of independent function in a college setting.

Learning support means having a space where I can go for help no matter what I need. The learning support department is always there for me, whether it is patiently waiting until I am ready to ask a question or guiding me through my work so I understand it better. It gives me confidence knowing I have people who support me and want me to succeed.

Counseling

Our nurses, counselors and athletic trainers address health and wellness concerns through educational classes, short-term individual work with students and families, and personalized care and treatment planning when circumstances require it. An important part of our well-rounded approach is the relationships we build and maintain with resources and individuals who are experts in the community outside of our walls. We provide referrals to doctors, nutritionists, concussion experts, psychiatrists, therapists, and more who understand our community.
