ACCELERATED ACHIEVEMENT CENTER In keeping with the school’s philosophy that every student has the right to an educational program responsive to his needs, the Accel- erated Achievement Center was established. The purpose of the center is to accelerate the learning of students experiencing aca- demic problems in the areas of Written Expression, Reading and Math. A combination of small, daily classes and individualized instruction helps the student catch up more quickly than he might in a large group setting. 18
