Empowering Students Who Have Mild-to-Moderate Learning Differences
As a parent of a child with a learning difference you’ve experienced their frustrations alongside them. You’ve felt their discouragement as they’ve struggled with schoolwork and traditional classroom environments. You’ve also come to recognize the value of a Christ-centered education that reminds them that God does not make mistakes. Your child learns the way they learn, because that is how God perfectly designed their mind to work.
At the Enrichment Center at Wesleyan Christian Academy, we serve families of 2nd through 12th grade children who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, auditory processing disorder, central processing disorder, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyslexia. At the same time, we work hard to build strong, successful, independent learners rooted in God’s word who can continue their education at the university level.
Teaching That’s Fully Integrated & Immersive
The Enrichment Center is fully integrated into Wesleyan Christian Academy. This means your child will learn core subjects in small-group enrichment classrooms, while they participate in electives, art, music, athletics, and chapel within the academy and alongside the larger student body. Ultimately, our goal is to teach students how they learn so they can transition back into the traditional classroom and advocate for their own learning needs.
| Program Hours | Average Class Size | |
|---|---|---|
| Grades 2-4 | 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. | 4-6 students |
| Grades 5-8 | 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. | 6-8 students |
| Grades 9-12 | 8 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. | 8-10 students |
Making All the Difference for Students With Learning Differences
If you desire to have your child actively involved in a college-preparatory Christian school but, because of their unique learning differences, have been unable to keep them in a traditional classroom setting, our Enrichment Center is for you.
Academic Support in ALL Subject Areas
Wesleyan Christian Academy takes a tiered approach to academic support. This means that we offer three different levels of assistance depending on the specific needs of your child. The first level is offered through in-class accommodations such as preferential seating in the larger traditional classrooms, and/or additional time on tests.The second level of academic support offered is through our Math and Reading/English resource classes. These classes are smaller in size and offer support to students who need just a little bit of additional assistance in these subject areas.
The third and most in-depth level of support comes into play in our Enrichment Center. In this part of the school, ALL core subject areas are covered including: Math, Science, English/Literature, Bible, and Spanish. Your child will benefit from an individualized education plan with specialized reading and math support. Our Enrichment Center utilizes educational programs like the Orton-Gillingham teaching approach to support our students. Your student will also have the opportunity to showcase their knowledge of information in nontraditional assignments that speak better to their specific learning disabilities.
Positive Challenges
The Enrichment Center is able to offer intensive services when needed while integrating the same scholastic standards as in the larger academy setting. We’ll work hard to transition your child out of the Enrichment Center and into a traditional classroom when they are ready as well as prepare them for college and beyond.
Nurturing Community
Certified learning disabilities teachers as well as larger community staff and peers offer hope and affirmation, encouraging each student to succeed, in and out of the classroom. This ensures your child feels seen, heard, and understood.
Faith-First Focus
Your child will grow in confidence and faith surrounded by people who love the Lord. They’ll come to school each day learning the same Christian values you teach at home and participate in Bible class and weekly chapel.

Our goal is also to work our way out of a job. If students learn how to manage their learning differences and are capable of mainstreaming, we want them to do so. Whether it’s in one subject or all subjects.”
