Benilde Program
Accommodations
Accommodations are determined individually based on a student’s psycho-educational evaluation. St. John’s never changes the curriculum for a student, so we do not have “pass-fail” options available, nor do we decrease the homework load nor offer different assessments. In this way, parents, teachers, students and college admissions officers can be assured the Benilde students are learning the same material as their peers.

The following accommodations are available from St. John’s College High School for students with the proper documentation:
        • Extra time (50% or 100%)
        • Copy of teacher notes
        • Copy of peer notes
        • Permission to use a laptop, Dana or computer (including spell checker)
        • Priority seating
        • Textbooks on CD
        • Kurzweil reader
        • A reader or scribe for exams (MUST BE APPROVED BY DIRECTOR)
        • Calculator
        • Word bank
Other accommodations may be discussed on an individual basis.
