Enriched Learning Center Middle School Program

Enriched Learning Center’s Middle School serves students from grades 5 – 8 by creating curriculum that teams with Berlin SAU#3 middle schools and corresponds with the New Hampshire Department of Education Grade Level Expectations. Due to a high ratio of staff to students, ELC is able to provide creative curriculum planning to both multiple grade levels and learning styles, while still meeting the required state guidelines. The middle school curriculum incorporates a number of hands on activities and initiatives. Groups are strategically constructed by ability or age level in order to maximize student productivity. ELC focuses on providing a learning environment that is safe and supportive, allowing our students to build on academic strengths, as well as develop their weaknesses. Many of our assignments are project-based, which allows the student to learn in a non-traditional setting while achieving all relevant individualized IEP goals.

ELC focuses on enabling students to regulate their own behavior in socially acceptable ways. This is achieved through personal accountability in a structured program that consistently monitors students’ progress on individual goals. Group problem solving, individual counseling, and personalized crisis plans help students realize new avenues for their actions. Progress on goals is monitored at the end of each lesson, assessed daily, and compiled into weekly assessments that reflect the students’ accomplishments towards their annaul goals. Parents and guardians receive weekly and quarterly progress reports, along with personal contact as needed by our behavioral specialists.
