The Discovery Program provides a highly specialized educational approach for students who are experiencing difficulty accessing their full academic potential due to educational differences, social emotional struggles, ADD/ADHD, skill gaps or other identified and/or unidentified learning challenges. Each child’s mind is uniquely created by God and for His purpose! The Discovery Program celebrates this uniqueness and utilizes a team approach to learning where teachers, parents, and students work in collaboration, following a detailed Student Learning Plan (SLP), to support our students. It is our overall goal for students with learning differences to become successful and independent learners who recognize their God given abilities and fulfill their God designed potential!

HOW do students qualify?

The Discovery Program provides highly individualized support for students who meet San Clemente Christian School admissions criteria and have gone through the Discovery Program admissions process.

How Does the Program Work?

Every student in the Discovery Program is treated as an individual. Through a comprehensive process, a student learning plan (SLP) is developed which outlines specific goals, progress expectations, and necessary interventions.

what are the Associated Fees?

Your child’s personalized plan and fees are dependent upon your child’s program level.

The Discovery Program operates throughout the academic school year. Please ask about our extensions for summer programs.

How are Parents Supported?

Parents are an integral and valued part of the Discovery Team. They receive structured monthly progress report updates and are encouraged to reach out at any time for questions and feedback. Arming parents with knowledge and tools related to their child’s SLP is essential, therefore, parent education sessions are included as part of the Discovery program process.
