Blue Valley’s mainstreaming policy for its special needs students is aimed at having all students ready to carry out the academic program. While the guidance staff works with students and teachers to ensure that the specific needs of each student are being met, no significant adjustments are made to a student’s course-load. But, for example, the guidance staff or the teacher might read the test to a student, give a student more time during exams, or recommend outside tutoring for academic support. However, no significant changes are made to the curriculum content.
Depends on the learning needs
Our school is characterized by being 100% bilingual, providing the opportunity for our local students to become proficient in English and for foreign students to master Spanish perfectly, in addition to offering the IBDP in both languages.
