Advanced Learning Services

Advanced Learning Services provide identified students with academic services at an advanced level and accelerated pace due to their ability to comprehend and process information. Services provide instruction in the core content areas of language arts, social studies, science and math. Instruction is designed to meet students’ cognitive and academic needs at the appropriate level.

We provide services to students who are residents of the Bellevue School District, who are currently enrolled in a BSD school, and who have been identified as in need of advanced learning services.

Students identified as in need of Centered Services may attend the Centered program where they are placed in classes with like ability peers at Cherry Crest, Medina, Somerset, Woodridge, Odle, Tyee, and Interlake. Students may also choose to remain at their attendance area or choice school and receive differentiated instruction in a general education classroom.

Students identified as in need of Domain-Specific Services remain in their attendance area or choice school and receive domain-specific instruction and extended learning in specific content areas.
