This can include alternative provision to that specified in a Statement, provided the child's special needs are adequately catered for.

We do accommodate special needs with full inclusion. At the time of registration parents will make an appointment to meet with the Special Needs Resource Team (SNRT). The team with the assistance of the parent will develop a care plan for the child/youth prior to starting care.

Research supports their conviction.

Students receive additional teacher support through our literacy and integration programs.

The beauty of our program is that it is flexible enough to meet children where they are in any given subject and take them where they want to go.

part of our regular education program, we have a Counselor, English Language Learner Teacher, a Title 1 Math and Reading Teacher and Reading Specialists. If you have concerns in these areas, talk with your child' teacher or contact the specialist directly. The specialists will talk with the teacher and may test your child if appropriate. Teachers may also consult with curriculum coordinators in the other curricular areas.

However, we believe strongly in diversity and inclusion, and will work hard to accommodate any child who wants to attend.
