Student Assessment

Working with each student’s unique learning style is transformative for students whose needs may not met by traditional schools. These assessment programs and services give parents and teachers a road map to support the student’s academic growth, talents, interests, learning personality and dreams for the future.

Learning Styles Profile

Laurel Springs assesses five aspects of learning style: disposition, modality, interests, talents and preferred environment. The profile helps parents better understand their child’s blueprint for learning and offers helpful study tips and techniques. By understanding their child’s learning style, parents can help their children excel not only in school, but in life. A more in-depth interpretation is available for an additional fee.

Standardized Testing (full time/full year students only)

The National Norm-Referenced Standardized Assessment is administered to Laurel Springs students in 4th through 11th grade. It provides valuable information about the student’s academic progress in language arts and mathematics.

Diagnostic Assessment 

Diagnostic assessments are designed to provide parents, students and teachers with specific information about what skills the student has and has not mastered. The results empower parents and teachers to pinpoint, assign and review those areas the student must master before moving on to more complex materials.

LSS courses are mastery based, which means students work at their own pace.
