Support Services
ESL
Students who are at beginning and intermediate levels of English are required to enroll in the ESL program. The ESL teacher works with students during their language learning time on English reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. The ESL teacher collaborates with each student's homeroom teacher to ensure continuity of learning and skill building. There is an additional fee for this program due to its small size and individualized attention.
Optimal Learning Program
Optimal Learning supports students only with mild learning differences (MLD) who require learning accommodations. The academic program cannot be modified.
Accommodations allow students to learn the same material using different methods without changing the instructional level or content. Through Optimal Learning, students with mild learning differences have an opportunity to fully participate, contribute and excel in the regular classroom.
Optimal Learning Support services are offered subject to availability.
OLP Consultation
OLP Consultation is determined on a case by case basis. Students that are placed in OL Consultation are monitored by the OL Specialist and their classroom teachers. Students in the Consultation Program are observed in their classroom setting for twenty minutes each week, and they receive Progress Reports. There are fees for enrollment in either the Optimal Learning program or the OL consultation.
Optimal Learning Support services are offered subject to availability.
