AMHS Academic Resource Center

PHILOSOPHY

Learning is a relational process. Through partnership with teachers, parents, peers and support personnel, students learn that they are able to be successful in the face of adversity. In order to become independent, students must learn to:

  • Understand their strengths and challenges
  • Learn how to use their strengths and access resources in order to overcome their challenges
  • Collaborate effectively with peers and adults
  • Set personal goals
  • Advocate for themselves
