The school has established the Kolisko Group, a team tasked with enacting policies and procedures to aid in learning support. Students requiring additional learning support will receive an Individual Education Program (IEP) and the Kolisko Group will work to support the educators, students, and families to best serve each child.
NWS recognizes that each child's needs and abilities are unique. Waldorf education allows for indivdual learning styles - children are supported and encouraged to learn at their own pace within the curriculum.
