Learning Lab

Strong Rock Christian School strives to partner with parents and students to support their learning needs. Our teachers and curriculum are rigorous and thorough. Each classroom emphasizes differentiated instruction to meet learning needs. However, some students benefit from services beyond the classroom.

Learning Lab offers the next step through academic support services without lowering the academic excellence provided at SRCS. Our program provides support through monitoring progress, academic coaching, learning strategies, and teaching of skills. At the same time, we strive to offer enrichment services to give students the opportunity to pursue enrichment beyond the classroom curriculum to encourage the gifted learner to meet their highest potential. Several programs are encompassed in the Learning Lab: PEP, PACE, PASS, S3, AND TAC.

  • Speech

    We are very excited to offer speech therapy as an additional service in Learning Lab. Parents or classroom teachers may suggest a referral to speech services. If you feel your child would benefit from speech services or if you question if your child has any speech related issues, you can contact our Speech Language Pathologist on campus, Susan Lockhart, to schedule a speech evaluation.

    Speech services begin with an evaluation to determine if the student would benefit from direct speech therapy. The initial fee for the evaluation is $100. The initial evaluation will guide goal setting and therapeutic activities throughout the school year. If the report indicates that your child would benefit from speech, the parent and Mrs. Lockhart would decide which plan would best fit the needs for the family. The plans are listed below:

    Plans Sessions Cost

    Speech Plan A : Meets 1x weekly for 30 min – $1,500

    Speech Plan B : Meets 2 x weekly for 30 min – $2,800

    Speech Plan C : Meets monthly for 30 min – $500

    These prices do not include the evaluation fee.
    An additional option is available for re-enrolling students.
    Early Learning Center children CAN also utilize Speech services.

    Mrs. Lockhart works with the classroom teacher(s) to decide on the best time to be seen during the school day and attempt to avoid missing out on important academic times. A re-evaluation and conference will be held at the end of the school year.

    We believe that having the opportunity to work with students in the school day at our own campus is a valuable tool in supporting our students with speech needs. Students have weekly communication via email tot he parents to re-enforce speech skills throughout the week. Mrs. Lockhart will also be in communication with classroom teachers so teachers may emphasize skills in the classroom as well.

    We look forward to partnering with you this school year. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Susan Lockhart at slockhart@strong-rock.com or 678-833-1200.
