Student Support Services
Student Support Services
Help Anchor Academy provides various support options for students who may be struggling with specific courses, need extra accountability in completing their studies (whether real-time, flexible learning, homeschool), or simply seek general guidance as part of our virtual community.
We are dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of our students.
Instructional Support
Services
Help Anchor Academy offers a variety of instructional support services designed to meet the diverse needs of students enrolled in either the Real-Time Virtual Learning or Flexible Learning Pathway program. These services provide added accountability, targeted academic assistance, and skill-building opportunities to help students succeed.
-
Accountability Mentorship – Students may be paired with an academic mentor who regularly checks in to support goal-setting, time management, and staying on track with coursework.
-
Tutoring – One-on-one tutoring is available through our qualified faculty for students who need targeted support in specific subject areas.
-
Academic Support Labs – These non-credit, subject-specific workshops offer additional guidance and practice in core academic areas. They are designed to help students reinforce concepts and build confidence in their learning.
-
Learning Strategies Course – For students needing extra support with executive functioning, study habits, or organizational skills, this structured, non-credit course replaces one elective and provides consistent instruction in strategies to help manage academic responsibilities effectively.
Special Education Support Services
Help Anchor Academy provides support to students with diagnosed learning needs or those who may require additional academic assistance. Our team partners with families and teachers to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive—whether enrolled in our Real-Time Virtual Learning or Flexible Learning Pathway program.
-
Consultation – Families of students with an existing IEP, 504 Plan, or formal documentation of a learning need may request a meeting with our Special Education team to review educational records, discuss appropriate placement, and develop a personalized support plan. For students without a formal diagnosis but showing signs of academic struggle, our team collaborates with teachers and parents to identify challenges and recommend next steps. Once documentation is received, we can implement accommodations as needed.
-
Accommodations – We offer a variety of accommodations tailored to both online learning pathways. When a need is identified and verified, our team works with families to implement strategies and tools that best support each student’s learning experience.
-
Learning Strategies Course – Students receiving academic support may be enrolled in a Learning Strategies course in place of one or more electives. This course provides structured intervention, study skill development, and targeted support to help students manage their coursework more effectively.
-
Progress Monitoring – Students receiving Special Education support benefit from enhanced progress tracking, check-ins, and communication with our Special Education team to ensure that their academic goals are being met consistently.
Emotional & Mental Health Support
At Help Anchor Academy, we understand that student well-being goes beyond academics. We are pleased to offer emotional and mental health support for students who may be facing challenges, need a listening ear, or would benefit from guided mentorship and counseling rooted in Bible principles.
Mentorship & Counseling – Students can meet with a trusted brother or sister who is experienced in providing spiritual, emotional, and mental health support. Sessions are held virtually in a confidential setting and focus on encouragement, emotional well-being, and practical tools for managing life’s challenges.
