About 25-30 percent of students use the ELC at some time during their academic careers at Haverford. The rigorous academic environment
along with the expectation of involvement in extra-curriculars can lead students
to feel overwhelmed. The ELC is a place where students can turn when they
need guidance on time management, organization, test preparation, test anxiety, etc.
The ELC office is here to:
-
Assist new students in making the
transition to Haverford
-
Help students develop positive
academic skills
- Provide Academic Coaching
- Provide resources for families in need of information on learning disabilities

each student to address his specific challenges

Services for Students with Disabilities
The Haverford School is committed to providing reasonable and
adequate accommodations to students who have disabilities. In addition to
offering guidance to students about requirements and accommodations, our ELC specialists
work with students to develop self-advocacy skills and develop strategies for
academic success. They can also help families to navigate the process of
determining if a learning disability could be a factor in a student’s academic
challenges.
