To meet a growing need among students, the Diocese of Allentown Office of Education will open a second Berks County location of its Aquinas Learning Support Program (ALSP) for elementary students at Holy Guardian Angels Regional School at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year.
Diocese of Allentown Catholic Schools believe that all children are unique, learn at different rates and are to be challenged to their fullest potential. The Aquinas Learning Support Program offers a Christ-centered, quality academic education for students with diagnosed learning disabilities at the elementary and secondary levels. Its emphasis is on learning strategies to help children foster independence. Students are challenged to learn self-acceptance, self-discipline, cooperation skills, and consistent work habits.
The ALSP is currently available for elementary students at St. John Vianney Regional School, Allentown, St. Anne School, Bethlehem, and St. Margaret School, Reading. Catholic high schools that offer the program are Berks Catholic, Reading, and Notre Dame, Easton. The Diocese of Allentown serves nearly 11,000 students in 31 elementary schools, 6 high schools, and 3 special learning centers across Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Carbon, and Schuylkill counties.
