Lower School teachers at Cathedral School for Boys are skilled in identifying and supporting diverse learning profiles. When learning differences emerge, the School uses a Response to Intervention (RTI) model, with teachers working in small groups or individually to help students access the curriculum. If a student needs more intensive or specialized support, Cathedral partners with families and may recommend comprehensive evaluation and outside resources as appropriate.
