St. Andrew's School

International Baccalaureate & Learning Support / Wolf Academy Learning Support students take the same IB courses as their peers. Inclusive by design, the IB approach values student diversity and respects individual learning differences. In our Middle Years Programme (grades 6 through 10), our co-teaching model, small class size, Academic Workshop, and St. Andrew’s Universal Practices combine to offer each Learning Services student an academic program tailored to their individual learning profile. In our Diploma Programme (grades 11 and 12), students continue to take Academic Workshop and receive supports as needed — and can choose between either Standard Level or Higher Level IB courses. Our Learning Support director, student advisors, and teachers work with each student enrolled in the Learning Support program to determine a course load that challenges them and enables them to reach their academic goals, while continuing to provide the additional academic support they need. The Wolf Academy Serving Upper School students (grades 9 through 12)* with complex learning needs, The Wolf Academy at St. Andrew’s employs the highly effective Immersion Model© developed by the Wolf School, a premier K-8 special education private school in Rhode Island. The Immersion Model© utilizes a team of professionals—special education teacher, speech language pathologist, and occupational therapist—to blend students’ individual speech, language, learning, social, and occupational goals into a robust, personalized academic program. In addition, Wolf Academy students also access the dynamic curricular and extracurricular offerings, enrichments, and social opportunities of the St. Andrew’s School community.
