The faculty and staff at Wesleyan Christian Academy recognize that all students learn differently and that
God created each one fearfully, wonderfully, and perfectly in His image. Because of His perfect plan for your
child, we recognize the importance of meeting students where they are academically and providing the
following services to bridge any existing educational gaps.
IN-CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS like preferential seating are always available for students who simply
need minor accommodations to help them reach their fullest academic potential.
RESOURCE CLASSES are offered to students who may need just a bit of additional academic assistance
in the subjects of Reading and Math (1st - 4th) or English and Math (5th - 12th). Our Resource Classes are
pull-out classes that will occur during your student’s school day. There is an additional charge for these
classes that is billed monthly.
THE ENRICHMENT CENTER at Wesleyan Christian Academy provides quality, college-preparatory
instruction from certified LD Teachers to students with mild to moderate diagnosed learning differences.
Enrichment students need help in subject areas other than English and Math and need assistance beyond
what our Resource Teachers can provide. Wesleyan students can take as few as 1 core class or as many as 6
core classes in the Enrichment Center as it is fully integrated into the traditional K-12 Academy. There is an
additional charge for these classes.
INTERVENTION/EXTENSION HOURS will be part of our elementary school curriculum beginning
in August 2020. Each week our elementary students who have mastered a particular grade-level concept
will have the opportunity to work beyond their grade-level during a teacher-led, dedicated Extension
hour. During the exact same time frame, our elementary students who might need just a bit of additional
instruction on a grade-level concept will have the option of revisiting that particular concept with a grade-
level teacher during our Intervention hour.
HOMEWORK ROOMS for elementary students will be offered as part of our formal After School
Program. Middle School students have the opportunity to sign up for a homework room on an as-needed
basis. For additional information on Elementary Homework Rooms, please contact Mrs. Amy McNeill,
After School Program Coordinator at amcneill@wcatrojans.org or by calling (336) 884-3333 x 235. For
additional information about Middle School Homework Rooms, please contact your child’s homeroom
teacher.
SPEECH THERAPY is available for all K-12 students. Mrs. Martha Eanes, Speech and Language Therapist
specializes in pragmatic, conversational language skills, auditory processing disorders, phonological
processing, visualizations of verbal language, and diagnostics. Mrs. Eanes offers these services at a reduced
rate to Wesleyan families and can be scheduled during your child’s school day. To learn more, please
contact Mrs. Eanes at meanes@wcatrojans.org or by calling her at (336) 884-3333 x 230.
