Learning Support Program

The Learning Support Program at Wilmington Christian School partners with students, families, teachers, administrators, and outside professionals to equip every student to grow academically, personally, and spiritually. Building on the foundation of Scriptural truth, we provide individualized support, classroom collaboration, and evidence-based strategies that help students develop the knowledge, confidence, and character to use their unique, God-given gifts to influence the world for Christ.

Lower School (Grades K-5)

The Lower School Learning Support Program provides targeted academic support through classroom collaboration, individualized instruction, and our WIN (What I Need) period. WIN is a dedicated instructional block designed to help every student flourish. Using assessment data, classroom performance, and teacher recommendations, students participate in one of three instructional pathways:

• Intervention for students who need targeted academic support.
• Skill Reinforcement to strengthen essential grade-level concepts.
• Enrichment that challenges students through deeper learning, critical thinking, creativity, and opportunities to develop their God-given strengths and interests.

Students who require additional support may also receive individualized or small-group instruction in foundational reading, reading comprehension, mathematics, written expression, executive functioning, and/or other identified areas of need. Instruction is research-based, multi-sensory, and aligned with classroom learning, helping students grow in both confidence and academic proficiency.

Upper School (Grades 6-12)

The Upper School Learning Support Program equips students with the executive functioning and self-advocacy skills needed for success in high school and beyond. Through individual and small-group coaching, students develop strategies for organization, planning, time management, study skills, note-taking, test preparation, and assignment completion. Learning Support Specialists serve as mentors who encourage students to take ownership of their learning, persevere through challenges, and grow in confidence as capable, independent learners prepared to impact the culture for Christ. Please contact the Admissions Office for Learning Support Program tuition information.

School Wide Collaboration

The Learning Support Program works collaboratively with teachers, Student Support Teams, administrators, school counselors, the Admissions Office, families, and outside professionals to support students in grades K–12. Together, we strive to create learning environments where every student is known, encouraged, challenged, and equipped to achieve his or her God-given potential while growing in Christian character and academic excellence.
