Discovery Program & Search and Teach

Hillcrest Christian School is the only private school in the San Fernando Valley that offers a special education program designed to help students with learning disabilities reach their full potential.

The Discovery Program is designed to meet the needs of students in grades 3 through 12 with average to above average intelligence who are unable to perform to their full potential due to a deficit in the processing of information. This is an educational therapy program conducted one-on-one with a specially trained therapist. Techniques are used to stimulate the deficit areas in perception and thinking.

The SEARCH & TEACH © Program is designed for early elementary students to prevent learning failure and its emotional consequences through early identification and educational intervention.

SEARCH is an individual test given to kindergarten students to identify individual strengths and weaknesses in reading skills necessary for reading success.

TEACH is a one-on-one student educational intervention program developed to address the needs revealed by SEARCH.

The Discovery and SEARCH & TEACH © brochures, located in the school office, explain the programs in more detail.

The Discovery Program is accredited by the National Institute for Learning Disabilities (NILD). The Discovery department consists of 4 accredited Educational Therapists and currently serves 31 Hillcrest Christian School students.
