JSerra's Student Educational Resource Program is an academic support program that provides services and supports to JSerra students with diagnosed learning and attention challenges. We strive to take a collaborative approach in this process with parents, students, teachers, and counselors to ensure that our students are holistically supported. This approach empowers students to thrive in their pursuit to be the best versions of themselves in mind, body, and spirit.

JSerra has developed three programs to meet the needs of our students: Student Educational Resource Program (SERP), Academy, and Academic Coaching Program (ACP).
