An Individualized Approach for Success
Barnstable Accent is our customized programming that offers extra help for students who are college bound, but have difficulty with the college-prep curriculum and the New Jersey State required core-curriculum standards. Students enrolled in the Barnstable Accent program take part in special one-on-one and group sessions throughout the day with our full-time Certified Reading Specialist.
These students have most of their core academic classes conducted by our Certified Reading Specialist, but are integrated into the main school courses where academically appropriate. Additionally, these students are integrated into the regular morning break, lunch, and afternoon electives which include required courses such as Art, Health, and Physical Education. In doing this, these students have the ability to socialize and interact with all Barnstable Academy students and teachers.
The Barnstable Accent program includes an afternoon class of Learning Management in which students work on executive function skills including self-monitoring, planning, organizing, and initiating. The Certified Reading Specialist works in conjunction with our full-time School Social Worker to achieve the goal of helping every student effectively develop and utilize these important life skills.
As part of the enrollment process, your child will be evaluated to determine if this personalized attention would be of benefit. If so, this will be included as part of your child's Individualized Education Plan. Your child will then take part in the appropriate one-on-one and small group sessions which are offered throughout the school day.
