Cretin-Derham Hall is a comprehensive high school admitting a broad range of students on its campus. As a result of its mission, there are a number of students being served who are in need of services to assist them in maximizing their potentialities in a traditional mainstream setting.
The purpose of the Academic Development Program is to provide compensatory and remedial programs to those students who are in need of some type of academic support to assist teachers in modifying programs so as to allow students to achieve.
Services are offered through a Learning Lab course. This course is a one-trimester, one credit course. A student can be enrolled in the course as long as the need exists.
