Support and Confidence

I have a student who started St. John as a fourth grader. She was struggling with not only basic academic skills but also lacking the stamina and motivation to make it through a school day. She has had experience in school but the year previous to starting St. John she was homeschooled. As the year progressed she seemed to become a little more confident in her abilities but still struggled to keep up with the pace of the classroom. She spent time in the resource room catching up on classwork and working on the basic reading, writing and math skills.

Fast forward two years later she is doing amazingly well! She advocates for herself and knows exactly when she needs support. I am so proud of the gains she has made these past two years and I have no doubt she will continue to soar!
