Crefeld recognizes that every person is a unique constellation of strengths and needs. Our faculty is sensitive to these differences and demonstrates that in the way they construct their curriculum, teach their courses, and relate to each student. Some of our students have been identified with specific learning or emotional needs, and therefore, the following supports exist for any student who wants and/or needs them:

Teachers and Advisors
Students can receive extra help with academics through their advisors during advisory periods or by scheduling time to meet with teachers. Students can often arrange to stay after school or spend lunch with a teacher, when they need extra help.

Learning Lab with Individualized Support
Each student participates in a Learning Lab four periods weekly to work on school assignments and gain and refine skills that will support their success.Students who need extra help or individualized attention in certain subject areas may receive more dedicated assistance with a Learning Specialist through a push-in or pull-out model during the Learning Lab class. Our goal in the Learning Lab is to help students understand their strengths and learning styles, develop strategies, and work through challenges with a growth mindset.

Emotional Support
Crefeld has three full time master’s level clinicians who provide emotional support and is an acclaimed training site for area master’s level graduate programs in Social Work and Counseling Psychology (Bryn Mawr and University of Pennsylvania). Traditionally, Crefeld has five interns each year. ES team members meet with students either as needed or on an ongoing basis and assist with concerns impacting a student's emotional, social and academic functioning. Additionally, ES can coordinate care with outside practitioners when necessary. Additionally, the ES team runs a variety of support groups throughout the year, coordinating with advisories in order to address current topics which affect student mental health.

Outside Tutoring
The Crefeld School can recommend an outside tutoring agency to provide services to our students on our premises, or off campus. In some circumstances, the Learning Specialist may recommend outside tutoring and will help the family to make arrangements. The family will be responsible for the costs of this tutoring.
