- What in-house learning-support specialists do you employ (SENCo, learning-support teachers, speech & language therapist, occupational therapist), and what is each one's caseload?
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

Students who are admitted into the program will be grouped within the same main ESL classroom and will receive instruction from a designated ESL teacher. The ESL teacher will provide intensive English classes for students for most of the day according to international standards for English proficiency. The students may join regular WCA classes according to their grade level for some specialty subjects such as P.E., Arts Education, and Chinese.
