Academic Supports

Recognizing that academic and career success are linked to holistic wellness, the CRSM Academic Assistance Program (AAP) offers proactive academic counseling services to students who would like to improve their performance and organizational skills. A key differentiator in our approach to secondary education, this program provides academic assistance, time management coaching, ESL support and reading fluency for struggling students on a consistent basis, meeting one-on-one with instructors for tutoring help.

Social workers, school counselors and nurses also are available to offer emotional and physical support for students and staff. CRSM School Counselors collaborate with organizations in the community to help our students and their families to meet their everyday needs. Counselors also work closely with the school nurse to ensure that students with medical needs are supported and successful.
