INDEPENDENT STUDY

Crossover Mission’s Independent Study Program (ISP) provides a very important pathway for students facing unique circumstances or challenges that hinder their success in a traditional school environment. These challenges may include learning disabilities, physical handicaps, behavioral issues, emotional struggles, and even exceptional potential that demands individualized support. ISP is built on the belief that education should be as unique as the students we serve.

This program offers a highly personalized approach to learning and the social dynamics of school life. Led by a dedicated instructor along with a team of academic mentors, the program provides individualized instruction tailored to each student’s needs. The ISP team works to ensure each student receives the specific support they need to thrive.

Our approach is deeply personalized.

Recognizing that the path to dropping out is influenced by a complex interplay of educational performance, behaviors, attitudes, and socio-economic factors, we tailor our strategies to meet the specific needs of each student. Through intensive one-on-one instruction and tutoring, we address these key predictors directly, ensuring that every student receives the individualized support necessary to thrive.

Each student benefits from the personalized attention of a full-time instructor and mentors, who are committed to nurturing their academic and personal growth. Beyond the classroom, our program is enriched with a variety of hands-on activities and field trips designed to broaden horizons and spark curiosity. Students have the opportunity to explore local ecosystems with visits to the Pelican Island Audubon Society and the Environmental Learning Center, enhancing their understanding of science through direct interaction with nature. Additionally, events like the Sheriff’s BBQ offer valuable insights into law enforcement, fostering a greater sense of community and civic awareness. These experiences are integral to developing well-rounded individuals who are equipped to meet the challenges of the future.

Beyond academic support, we offer comprehensive assistance to address behavioral issues and attitude adjustments by integrating basketball as a constructive outlet for energy and emotions. We also break down socio-economic barriers by connecting students and their families with essential community resources.

This comprehensive approach does more than enhance academic skills; it builds emotional resilience and social competence among our students, empowering them to navigate the complexities of life.
