Westminster Schools of Augusta
Academic Support
Single Hero
Westminster believes that each student has been created with unique gifts, abilities, and learning styles. To help students become successful, Westminster offers guidance for all enrolled students needing academic support in our Student Success Center. Westminster also offers some appropriate accommodations for students with diagnosed learning disabilities enabling them to become independent and successful learners in a regular classroom setting. We have a full-time Director of Academic Support on campus who works with the academic support team to provide the support needed for students to succeed at Westminster.

As parents of a high schooler who has struggled with a learning disability since preschool we have been so thrilled with Westminster's Academic Support program. Our son joined WSA for high school and the support he has received has been incredible. Although he was hesitant at first due to his age and being at a new school, he now looks forward to his time with Mrs. Barksdale and even wants to get to school early some days to get extra help from her. Thank you to Westminster, Mrs. Barksdale and all of the Academic Support team for all that you do to help those that are struggling succeed.
