Bethlehem Catholic is committed to supporting its students academically in a variety of ways. Upon application to the school, families work with the Director of Admissions, the Academic Support Coordinator, and Guidance Counselors to assess any needed academic support. If a student qualifies for some supports but does not need to be scheduled into a Hawks Learning Support class, then a support plan is written and is overseen by the guidance counselor.
