The Harrison center was founded by Nancy Harrison, a former teacher at Saint James Catholic School. Throughout her years in the classroom, it became apparent to her that some of the students learned very differently from others. Her greatest desire was to unlock the keys to learning for every student she met.
The Harrison Center provides additional support for students in Reading and Language Arts.
- This program uses grade level curriculum and aligns with the instruction taking place in the classroom.
- Students work individually or in small groups with a resource teacher to develop skills and strategies to help them learn and grow.
- Resource teachers consult regularly with classroom teachers and parents to discuss progress of all students and to offer strategies and suggestions.
- Each of our resource teachers are trained in the Orton Gillingham approach and hold a Master’s degree in education.
