School Notes
St. Cecilia School's philosophy of teaching the "whole child" with
his or her individual needs and differences is demonstrated with
kindness, respect, understanding and patience. In keeping with that
philosophy, the school operates both a Learning Disabled Center,
which is noted throughout the NYC area, and an Enrichment Program.
The Learning Center recognizes the challenges and potential gifts
within diverse learners by offering small class sizes and a
multi-sensory approach to learning the academic subjects of
Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students
can also receive specialized services such as Speech, Occupational
Therapy, Physical Therapy, ESL, Counseling and Title I Reading and
Math within the school.
Currently open to students in grades 5-8K who maintain first honors
and achieve high standardized test scores, the Enrichment Program
curriculum recognizes the needs and challenges of bright, motivated
students.
