Dedicated staff/programs for students with special learning needs |
Students who are found to be behind academically are rarely refused. Instead, they are offered, at an extra cost, one of several different solutions, depending on their academic needs. |
Learning support offered |
Summer School: A six-week summer course offered in June, July, and August. Students who are academically below the required standard can attend this course and often make up for academic gaps. Special Lessons: A student found to be weak in one subject attends extra periods in that subject until the level of the class is reached. Full-Special Classes: Students are given accelerated programs intended to prepare them to join the regular classes. In many cases, Full-Special students have done the work of two or more scholastic years in one. |
Entry evaluation for students |
The criterion for acceptance into the school is the willingness to put in the effort to achieve full potential, not high 'innate' ability. Placement into classes is determined by academic attainment, with age acting as a limiting factor. Students applying to enter, Grade 2 and above must take diagnostic tests to determine placement. |
