We can provide support to students with mild to moderate learning disabilities.

Learning support offered

Services are available for identified students primarily in the areas of Mathematics and Language. Intervention can vary based on each student's individual need and the level of support required. Intervention ranges from monitoring services in class to pull out assistance in one-on-one or small group settings.

The school supports gifted, able and talented students

The IB PYP/MYP/DP programs are rigorous academic programs; therefore, we do not offer a "gifted program" or similar; students receive the differentiation available to them from the class teacher. From grade 9, we offer an "Extended Math"/Advance Math course option.
