While the standards for instruction remain the same for all students, each student is an individual and deserves recognition of their learning styles and needs.
Special Education Modification and Support
Improving work habits allows students to access a greater level of depth in their learning. By focusing on work habits and holding students accountable to them, MBA prepares them to be successful in high school and beyond.
