Individual Learning Plans

At UCanachieve, learning is much more than merely acquiring knowledge.  The learning process is a means of building character.

We work to keep your teenager engaged in the learning process; teaching him or her to seek out knowledge and connect to the process of studying in a way that is personally meaningful.

We offer guidance and encouragement in using learning as a stepping stone to developing the important executive functions of persistence, planning and self-control.

Individual learning plans

Upon entry into our program, each student participates in a comprehensive evaluation to determine his individual strengths, weaknesses and learning styles.

Individual learning plans (ILP) are developed with each student.  Through collaborative discussion and problem solving, your teenager will be paired with an educational mentor to develop strategies that accentuate and build upon his or her strengths.

Together, your teen and his or her mentor will clarify short and long term goals and develop an action plan.

They will establish lines in order to monitor progress and work together to create a successful learning program.

At UCanachieve, we value and encourage student participation and innovation in the learning process. Learn more here.

Group study

Students work individually or in small groups with educational mentors in order to develop study skills necessary for independent learning.  The coursework provides each student with the capability of obtaining an accredited high school diploma that prepares him or her for transition to college. Read more about out academic credentials here.

Student participation

At UCanachieve, we value our students’ input and involvement in the learning process.

Our belief in effective education requires that our students be accountable for their educational and life successes.

Our teachers will lead your teenager through a process of discovery and self-exploration on his or her path to becoming an independent thinker and learner.

As a team, we will affirm each accomplishment and nurture your child’s unique abilities as he or she prepares for the challenges of adulthood.
