The Student Services Department at Prospect Hill Academy provides and oversees services that support students with diverse learning needs. We are committed to an inclusive, differentiated model of education. It is our belief that students with disabilities should be educated, to the maximum extent possible, with their same age peers, and that English learners should be given the opportunity to access the general education curriculum standards while developing their language skills.

Our services and programs promote supportive learning environments that encourage all students to reach their individual potential while maintaining high performance standards.
