Crusader Academic Center

Guided by Faith, Committed to Every Learner

At Holy Cross, we recognize that every child is uniquely created and learns differently. The Crusader Academic Center (CAC) partners with students, teachers, and families to help every learner grow in confidence, independence, and academic success.

The CAC provides additional support for students who may need help accessing the curriculum, strengthening foundational skills, or developing strategies that help them become more successful learners. Support may include classroom collaboration, small-group or individualized instruction, assessment, accommodations, and coordination with outside service providers when appropriate.

Guided by our faith and a commitment to every learner, our goal is to meet students where they are, build on their strengths, and provide the support they need to grow and thrive at Holy Cross.

Think Your Child May Benefit from Additional Support?

Your child’s classroom teacher is the best place to begin. Teachers see students learning each day and can help identify strengths, patterns, and areas of concern.

1. Start with your child’s teacher.
Reach out to the teacher and set up a time to talk about your concerns. Share what you are noticing at home and ask what the teacher is seeing at school.

2. Work together on next steps.
Your child’s teacher may suggest classroom strategies, additional practice, or a period of monitoring. When additional support may be helpful, the teacher can collaborate with the Crusader Academic Center to determine appropriate next steps.

3. Still have questions or want to talk more?
Families are always welcome to reach out to the Crusader Academic Center. I am happy to talk through your concerns, answer questions about available supports, or help determine what next steps may be appropriate for your child.
