Learning and Support

At Ancillae, supporting and encouraging each child to grow to their fullest potential is at the heart of what we do. Recognizing that each child has unique interests and needs, we have assembled an exceptional team of professionals dedicated to assisting our students and teachers.

Collaborative Approach

Working collaboratively, teachers, parents, learning specialists, and students create a cohesive support system for each individual’s needs. This holistic approach ensures that every learner is not only achieving academic success but also reaching their fullest potential.


Holistic Well-Being

At the heart of success, we prioritize the holistic well-being of our students, recognizing the vital role it plays in their overall success.

School Counselor

Our school counselor plays a vital role in supporting the academic, social, and emotional development of students.

She provides individual and group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and collaborates with teachers, parents and administrators to foster a positive and inclusive school environment.

Health Office

Our nurses are an integral part of our team — addressing medical needs, providing essential healthcare services, supporting the physical and mental well-being of students, and collaborating with other school personnel to promote a safe and healthy environment.

Middle School Programming

Advisory, Study Skills, and School Success classes promote the development of self-esteem and resiliency supporting adolescents as they navigate their increased independence in learning. These classes foster wellness, DEIB understanding, student success skills, and digital citizenship while deepening student and teacher relationships to support individual and community growth.


Empowering Diverse Learners: The Resource Learning Center

Grounded in a profound respect for all individuals as learners, Ancillae’s Resource Learning Center has been empowering students since 1991, and today, serves students with diagnosed mild learning differences in reading, writing, spelling, and/or math skills, attention issues, organizational difficulties, or processing problems.

This transformative program evolved to meet the needs of every student entrusted to our care. From preschool through elementary school, and into middle school, our vision is to support each child’s journey with Love and dedication. This program is pivotal to our mission; as such, it is offered at no additional cost to our families. 

What We Offer In Resource Learning

At Ancillae, we are dedicated to nurturing the unique gifts of each child, ensuring they thrive in an environment that values and supports their individual learning journey.

As a Handmaid school, Ancillae-Assumpta Academy celebrates diversity in all its forms.

Our appreciation includes a diversity of learning styles, aptitudes, and needs. Compassion, creativity, and confidentiality are the pillars of our Resource Learning Center, where skilled professionals live out the school’s mission every day.
