What is the Auxiliary Studies Program (ASP)?

Established in 1995 in response to a growing need to extend additional educational and support services to students with diagnosed learning challenges, Santa Margarita Catholic High School's Auxiliary Studies Program (ASP) continues to be the leader in providing innovative academic support and in-house comprehensive and responsive assessments for students who learn differently. Since its inception, the ASP program has continually increased in both scope and size. ASP services are offered in a rigorous college preparatory setting where students with learning difficulties are competing and succeeding with their non-learning disabled peers.

Why ASP?

The program results in improved self-esteem and documented gains in academic performance. Most notably, students are going on to attend reputable colleges and universities throughout the country with skills and initiative to self-advocate and achieve goals well beyond previous expectations.

ASP Services

A student’s individual educational program will be based on the recommendations determined to best help the student succeed. Please note that some of the optional programs available may have fees in addition to ASP tuition fees.
