Dedicated staff/programs for students with special learning needs

Yasmina British Academy has very limited resources to cater for children with special needs. The school generally does not accept children who have a 'statement of special needs' or require one-on-one support to access the curriculum. Students with an individual education plan will be reviewed carefully and will have to undertake an assessment.
