Discovery Program
Mission
The mission of Florida Christian School’s Discovery Department is to meet the needs of students with various learning abilities. We strive to develop successful, independent learners in an environment that is conducive to learning with strong Biblical support. Our Discovery support services begin at the primary level and continue into high school.
Discovery Services
Please note: Florida Christian School (FCS) is a college preparatory school that offers certain accommodations to qualifying students. Our Discovery programs are designed to address cognitive deficits, including executive functioning. The Discovery program is not an in-house tutoring service and students in the program may still require outside support. Our program is not equivalent to a full-service Exceptional Student Education program, but can help students with unique abilities that meet the criteria for support.
Under the Discovery umbrella there are a variety of services that are available to qualifying students:
- Search & Teach Program (Kindergarten & 1st Grade)
- Educational Therapy (2nd-High School)
- IGNITE (Middle School)
- Executive Function Coaching with Academic Enhancement (AE) (Middle School-High School)
- Accommodation Monitoring (Qualifying Preschool-High School)
- Student Educational Plan
