At St. Katharine Drexel School, we understand that some students require a different style or pace for learning. For these students, we offer academic assistance in a program entitled the Learning Zone. The Learning Zone provides help for any student in need. 

Learning Zone assistance is provided by teachers, retired teachers and parent tutors. Our main focus is to help those students who need a little extra one-on-one attention to learn at their level as well as assistance to reach their full potential.  Students are supported in a variety of way. Some receive extra help on a specific skill or area; some  review for an upcoming test; some read aloud or have something read to them; some are helped in overcoming a more difficult learning challenge. This resource is not only for those considered to be at risk but also for those needing enrichment or an additional challenge because they are advanced beyond their grade level.

The Learning Zone is used is to offer services such as remediation, one-on-one learning, tutoring, and/or an adjusted curriculum. As a result of these services, we hope to see an increase in motivation and learning. By improving study and academic skills, we help students to improve their social skills and build their self esteem.
