Brother André Scholar Program

The Brother André Scholar is a student whose full academic potential has not yet been reached because of a lack of skill development. The Brother André Scholar Program provides one-to-one and small group instruction in learning strategies and study skills. The Scholars have access to the services of an experienced professional staff. Scholars also have use of the resource technology available in the Brother André Learning Resource Center.

Notre Dame High School does not specifically have a Special Education Program. The school does not attempt to write or manage Individual Educational Programs for students who are diagnosed as having a Learning Disability or who have been classified as needing Special Education services.

Notre Dame attempts to provide reasonable accommodations in order to support the student's participation in his courses and learning experiences. The Director of the Brother Andre Program, in consultation with the students' teachers, counselor, and Andre staff, Director of Counseling, will decide the accommodation(s) that a student receives on a case-by-case basis. Reasonable accommodations might include exemption from the foreign language requirement, extended time on tests, one-to-one academic support by teachers and staff, the use of a recording device, and a support study hall during freshman and sophomore years. It must be noted that Notre Dame is not required to make any accommodations nor conform to the recommendations from IEPs or psycho-educational evaluations. Notre Dame High School will determine whether certain accommodations are reasonable with respect to our resources, training of the teacher in regular education, and the perceived fairness and respect for students within a particular course. Notre Dame High School can only consider the possibility of an accommodation if a student and his parent/guardian are able to demonstrate a legitimate reason by an appropriate professional qualified to make such a diagnosis and the submission of proper documentation (i.e., IEP from the student's district public school and/or a psycho-educational evaluation) that is current (i.e., within three years).

Incoming Br. André Program freshmen are required to attend a special four-week summer program prior to enrollment in the program. In addition, they are enrolled in a course entitled: Reading/Writing Workshop, in lieu of a foreign language. Also, freshman and sophomore Br. André scholars receive "pull-out" services scheduled through the Br. André Learning Center during the student's scheduled study hall.
