Learning Support

The Learning Support Department believes that every child is unique and has the capacity to learn when given the right support. The aim of the department is to provide a supportive pillar for students and teachers from Grades K-12 to enhance learning.  

Our Objectives

  • To identify any student who may have a learning need or perform beyond grade level expectations as soon as possible

  • To ensure that all the stakeholders (teachers, parents, administrators, or any other school members) are aware of the student’s learning needs. Such students are, therefore, a whole school responsibility.

  • To keep record of pertinent information, including students’ learning goals, interventions, and outcomes.

  • To promote self-awareness for all students, helping them to recognize their strengths and weaknesses

  • To promote self-advocacy for all students, especially older students, by involving them in the decision making about their learning goals and intervention.

  • To collaborate and support all school members so that they will be able to meet the students’ learning needs.

  • To collaborate with the students’ parents at all times.
