Learning Support

Learning support services help students with learning challenges to become more independent learners. Specialists help students to strengthen their work habits and work on the remediation of skills so that students can benefit from the school curriculum. Classroom and learning support teachers work with parents to address the specific needs of students. In some cases, students require short-term interventions or accommodations and are offered learning support for up to a semester. When students require learning support over a longer period of time, ISB creates an Individual Learning Plan.
