Instructional Support Program

Divine Child Elementary School’s Instructional Support Program (ISP) provides academic interventions and accommodations to students with diagnosed learning differences, thus allowing them to receive a high-quality Catholic education.

We believe all families who desire a Catholic education for their child should have the opportunity to be a member of our school community and receive the same excellent education regardless of diagnosed learning differences.

Divine Child has been a pioneer and leader in developing an ISP in the Archdiocese of Detroit to support the diverse needs of all students. In the last decade, our program has grown exponentially to meet the expanding population of students in need of academic interventions and accommodations.

Our ISP currently serves more than 80 students, comprising almost 15% of the overall student population, which aligns with the national average of students receiving these services.
