The Learning Lab class focuses on supplemental educational support in core subject areas, study skills, and organizational techniques to ensure academic progress for each student. The Learning Lab class supports the students in the following ways:
• Provides a small class environment with students in the same grade level; 
• Teaches students growth mindset, self-advocacy, and study strategies to succeed; 
• Helps students manage and monitor grades and assignments; 
• Provides ongoing communication with parents with detailed academic concerns and strategies; and 
• Provides the opportunity to retest or take tests with extended time as recommended. Students in the Watch and Consult program work independently without the Learning Lab support class. 

Students in the Watch and Consult program may meet with the Counseling Department or Learning Assistance Director to discuss academic progress, successful learning strategies, and implementation of their accommodations. Maranatha provides for all reasonable accommodations recommended by the testing psychologist, but cannot provide for any modifications (change in course curriculum or objectives). 

Learning Assistance students will examine the issue of where their identity stems. Many Biblical characters have struggled with hardships to overcome and found their identity in their Creator instead of in their abilities or struggles, including Moses, Gideon, Jesse (David’s father), and Paul. We are excited to examine portions of Scripture and challenge our thinking and belief systems. We are confident that God has a plan for each student that will use his/her gifts and talents.
