Bertschi's Learning Services program supports students' varied learning needs.

The goal of our Learning Services program is to provide screening, resources, and support to facilitate the educational success of children with diverse learning styles and needs. Bertschi provides resources to support children with a range of learning capabilities—from those experiencing difficulties to those exceeding grade-level expectations. We acknowledge and celebrate that children’s learning profiles can vary widely across academic, social and emotional arenas.

Throughout the school year, our Learning Services Director and Learning Services Specialists work in partnership with the teaching staff, administration, and parents to:

• Identify students with specialized learning needs
• Provide initial screening and referral services
• Facilitate appropriate educational strategies
• Develop and strengthen learning accommodations and curriculum
• Provide specialized academic support to selected students
• Serve as an information resource for teachers and parents

Bertschi offers a variety of on-campus support/resources including individual instruction, reading groups, specialized classes, accelerated programming, and after school homework support. The Learning Services staff offers specialized one-to-one instruction; these services are available at an additional cost on a contracted basis.
