turning obstacles into opportunities
Resources Offered
Designed for students who benefit from structured support or specialized instruction, the Resource Learning Center (RLC) provides dedicated small-group learning during regularly scheduled class periods. We currently offer Resource Math and Resource English, with other subjects considered based on student needs.
Determination of Eligibility
To be considered for the Resource Learning Center (RLC), new prospective students need to provide an IEP, 504 Plan, or psycho-educational testing document dated within the past three years. Students entering with an active public school 504 Plan are eligible for base-level services, while higher-level services require full-scale IQ and academic testing from an educational psychologist or school district evaluation. Because public school standards and available accommodations differ from FCA’s program capabilities, a previous public school IEP does not automatically result in an FCA Individualized Service Plan (ISP).
If a current FCA student is struggling to meet grade-level expectations in core subjects, they may be evaluated for enrollment in the RLC. First, there will be a meeting to review the student’s needs and discuss the referral process. Eligibility requires comprehensive IQ and achievement testing completed by a licensed educational psychologist or through the public school system. To finalize enrollment, parents must contact their local public school district to secure an active IEP, which determines appropriate placement in the RLC.

“The goal of the program is to encourage and come alongside students who may become frustrated with learning by helping them discover their true potential. Students will gain confidence and independence in the classroom and develop a strong foundation in the Gospel.”
