Action on Inclusion
Our learners are supported in an inclusive environment that addresses their abilities through modified/adapted Alberta Education curriculum, literacy programs, universal learning strategies, small classroom sizes, and differentiated instruction.
In addition, medical and other special needs are addressed through multi-disciplinary team supports and environments focused upon enhancing learning for all.
Our families are engaged in the education process through participation in individual programs, parent team meetings, family-oriented programs, parent education sessions, support groups, workshops, and community referrals.
