In our specialized services classrooms, we provide inclusive and supportive learning environments for students with diverse needs. These programs are designed to foster academic growth, social development, life skills development and personal well-being. Through individualized instruction, small class sizes, and a range of support services, we ensure that each student receives the attention and resources necessary to thrive.

Students are supported by a team of educators, including special education teachers, educational assistants, and support staff, who work collaboratively to address each student's unique strengths and challenges. Additionally, students have access to specialized tools and resources, such as assistive technology and individual education plans, to further enhance their educational experience.

With a focus on inclusivity, respect, and individualized support, we strive to help students build confidence, develop life skills, and succeed academically in a way that is meaningful to them.
