At Verita we believe that regular, modest amounts of homework are an important element of improving student learning and developing the skills and attitudes that will support our students in their continued education as well as the personal initiative required in adult life.

Homework time can vary from 20 minutes to 2 hours ( for older children ).

At this moment, we can not make a report in this regard.

We can integrate a limited number of students with additional needs per class, in order to maintain the highest standard of care.

The Learning Support team at Verita School coordinates programs and services for students with additional needs, based on the DIR/Floortime model. This developmental model offers a holistic child approach, taking into account their individual differences and fostering emotional connection through relationships.

At this moment we don’t have a program for gifted/talented children.

VIS has school counselors and a team of SEL specialists who are offering psychological support to the students and who is periodically evaluating them.

Your child might be invited to spend a test day at school or to come in for an assessment and an interview.

Primary-aged children will be assessed using a variety of age-appropriate tools including oral interviews and oral reading as well as reading comprehension tests and writing samples where appropriate. The purpose of this testing is to help determine the nature of the support needed rather than entry to the school.

In the Secondary School children must have a high level of English and Mathematics proficiency to access the curriculum and to successfully graduate therefore Verita has increasing expectations for Mathematics and English proficiency with each year of Secondary School.
