As per District Goal #2, the Mount Olive Township School District is committed to providing a personalized learning experience for ALL Students. Our teachers provide ALL students an opportunity to learn and thrive in classrooms that emphasize personalized learning and blended learning opportunities in order to meet each student's individualized needs. All students have unique strengths and talents, and we work to foster these in many ways. Some children have skills and abilities that significantly differ in degree and dimensions from their chronological age peers. Our mission is to provide the best education for every student that includes meeting the unique needs of gifted and talented (G&T) students. The Mount Olive School District program focuses on providing a differentiated experience in instructional depth and scope in order to provide these students with the opportunity to maximize their potential. The purpose of identification is not to label a student but more to recognize and respond to their educational needs.

Mount Olive Middle School offers a continuum of placement and program options that assist in the delivery of the services outlined in the Individual Education Plan. The IEP is developed by the IEP team which includes the child study team in collaboration with the students’ family. Academic programming is supported by a variety of related services, including counseling, speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. The goal of a continued inclusive community is of the utmost importance to all staff and administration.

Study Skills class is a supplemental program that supports the academic, social, and emotional needs, as well as the executive functioning of students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The Study Skills curriculum is tailored to accommodate students’ needs and abilities guided by the IEP. Study Skills offers a balanced approach between supporting content area classes and meeting the specific goals and objectives of each student. The goal of the program is to help students reach their greatest potential and be prepared socially and academically in and out of the classroom.  

Multi-Sensory Reading (MSR) is a supplementary reading program with a  complete curriculum for teaching decoding and encoding (spelling) beginning with phonemic awareness. MSR teaches the structure of words so that students master the coding system for reading and spelling. It provides an organized, sequential system with extensive leveled text to help students decode and encode to the level of mastery. Students are taught in a small group environment of up to five students. Students requiring multi-sensory reading instruction class are screened utilizing a standardized assessment prior to initial enrollment in the class.
