Before admitting any student with special needs to our school, there will be a week of observation period to better understand the needs of the students so that our school can better support them. In addition to our Behavioural Consultant who works closely with our students, their parents, and teachers, we also collaborate with external centres working with students with special needs who attend our school. Some of our students attend extra therapy sessions and intervention programs to address their needs and their Shadow Teachers work hand in hand with our teachers to ensure consistency of approaches and methods when they are in school.
