Laurel Springs School Launches the IMPACT Program, a Learning Support Program for K-12 Students

OJAI, Calif., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Laurel Springs School, an accredited online K-12 institution, today announced the launch of its innovative IMPACT Program, a specialized learning support initiative designed to empower students with diverse learning needs and elevate academic performance across all grade levels.

All full-time students at Laurel Springs School already receive individualized academic support through expert teachers, counselors, and support staff. Current students can also self-pace and engage in mastery-based learning through Laurel Springs' asynchronous course model.

However, Laurel Springs School serves a wide range of students with diverse learning needs, and some students have shown a need for additional, tailored academic support.

Now available to full-time students in grades K-12, the IMPACT Program provides individualized instruction, targeted intervention strategies, and comprehensive skill-building resources for students who need additional academic scaffolding, accommodations, or personalized coaching to reach their full potential in a flexible online learning environment.

Recognizing that every student learns differently, Laurel Springs' IMPACT Program pairs specialized learning support teachers with students to address individual academic needs. Through one-on-one virtual coaching sessions, custom intervention plans, executive function coaching, and structured study strategies, the program helps students master critical concepts while building independent learning habits and confidence.

To address age-specific development, the program offers pathways for elementary (K-5), middle school, and high school students:

• Elementary School (K-5): Focuses on building foundational skills in reading and math, developing positive learning habits, and partnering with parents to create established routines at home.
• Middle School (6-8): Emphasizes executive function coaching, time management, organization, and subject-specific tutoring to guide students through key academic transitions.
• High School (9-12): Centers on post-secondary preparation by supporting self-advocacy skills, rigorous course scaffolding, and designing personalized strategies for college readiness and independent studying success.

"Our mission at Laurel Springs has always been to offer a flexible, high-quality education that adapts to the individual needs of each student," said Marcie Peoples, Laurel Springs Student Support Manager. "With the launch of the IMPACT Program, we are expanding our commitment to student achievement by offering targeted tools, personalized mentorship, and robust support systems. Whether a student is establishing core foundational habits in elementary school or navigating college prep in high school, our goal is to empower every learner to thrive both academically and personally."

Designed to seamlessly integrate with Laurel Springs' rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, the IMPACT Program offers key features including individualized learning plans, progress tracking, regular parent-specialist check-ins, and a specialized focus on areas such as reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and time management.
