As a comprehensive college preparatory high school, VASJ is proud to provide our students with a curriculum that prepares them for college as well as for the practicalities of everyday life. An important part of that curriculum is our program to serve students with learning differences who seek a mainstream Catholic high school experience that integrates support and services for them as specified by an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Service Plan (SP).
VASJ is certified by the Ohio Department of Education as a provider of educational services for students with mild to moderate learning differences who hold the Autism Scholarship. Students with the scholarship who are accepted to VASJ experience the same inclusion, resource room and support services as our non-Autism Scholarship students who have IEP/SPs.
VASJ students with learning differences enjoy the best of both worlds because they participate in classes with their peers and gain independence as high school students. They are provided with assistance from our licensed intervention specialists within a dedicated resource room space and are supported in their day-to-day learning and standardized test preparation.
