Finding balance can
be very difficult,
however, Canton
Academy's directed
studies program is
helping to make all
the difference.
VO
D.S.
allows students with
learning disabilities
like ADHD or
dyslexia to get
additional guidance
with school by
giving them
accommodations for
testing and an more
study session with
teachers.
During the
pandemic, more and
more students are
showing interest in
the D.S.
program, and the
school has now
broken it into tiers
to meet each
individual student's
needs.
Maggie Claire
Thomas has been in
the program for a
few years now, she
says it's been much
to balance her life
because of it..

Maggie Claire
Thomas/junior in DS
program: "I have a
bunch of sports I
do, I'm involved in
my youth group and
all that stuff so it
really helps a lot
when you can sit
down one on one
with the teacher
and get the
attention you need."
KATE
Thomas says that
the more time and
effort she puts into
the directed studies
program, the better
her grades get and
she knows they'll
continue to improve.
