ACADEMIC

If I want to know how my son/daughter is doing in their classes at LDI how do I contact their instructors?
You would contact their student advisor who would have all of this information. Furthermore, you could arrange a conference call if needed with the instructor and advisor.

Do the students earn college credits for the courses at LDI?
No. College bound students take additional courses outside of the LDI core based on individual goals and schedule availability.

Is my son/daughter permitted to take additional classes at a college or vocational school?
Yes. We encourage new first trimester students to limit outside college courses to one core/elective class to allow for adjustments to their new environment. As each student progresses at their own rate, more credit hours can be added to their core LDI schedule and balanced with other community-based activities such as service learning, personal training at a fitness center, outside appointments, etc.

Are there any restrictions in regards to my son/daughter taking additional classes at a college or vocational school?
Depending on their previous educational attainment and overall preparedness to move into this environment dictates where they would begin this process and how many hours they would take.

Is tutoring available?
Tutoring is available both at LDI and if the students documented
disability qualifies them for accommodations under the ADA, at the college. Tutorial support is available for all college students for certain courses, but does not automatically entitle the additional accommodations specific to a disabling condition without current documentation.

Does LDI monitor and track a student’s academic progress?
Yes, through an advisor monthly inquiries and college faculty responding to our request for information.

What are the qualifications of teaching skills for the teaching staff?
Our teaching staff is a combination of adjunct faculty who have post-graduate degrees and/or full time staff with direct experience, teacher certifications, or other related instructional skills for adult learners.
