What is Inclusion?
What is Inclusion?
In the spirit of teaching and learning in a mission-driven school at ANS, we are leaders in excellence in inclusive practices and serving all children. ANS believes that every child has the right to learn within an inclusive community where children share the same needs to be challenged, to contribute, and to be respected for who they are. Our inclusive program at ANS is designed to serve children who are prepared to make progress toward grade-level academic and social expectations.
The Inclusion Team at ANS is committed and passionate about putting inclusive practices in place for the benefit of the academic and social development of our students, and most importantly, the promotion of their own experience of success as learners. The Inclusion Team is formed by seven (7) Inclusion Leads serving students Pathways to 12th grade, who provide specialized instruction and targeted support to students inside and outside of the classrooms, and sustain alliances with teachers, parents and private specialists.

We use the Tiers of Support framework to help guide our instruction and support students throughout the learning process.
With highly experienced inclusion support specialists representing all grade levels, we are dedicated to offering children the necessary tools and resources to realize their full potential.
The Inclusion Team carefully looks at existing Individualized Learning Plans (IEP), reads other evaluations, analyzes recent data results, meets with the classroom teachers, and partners with parents, and creates a plan with goals to individualize support for students.
STAR Program
STAR Program
STAR Classroom – The STAR Program (Students Transitioning to Academic Readiness) is designed to support the academic and social success of our currently enrolled ANS students who are on the autism spectrum. We believe that students on the autism spectrum will learn best when they learn and play with their classmates in the regular classroom for most of the day. We also believe that our students with autism will benefit from receiving specialized instruction for part of their day. In a setting with reduced sensory input and social demands, we can better support students to learn to self-regulate their emotions, actions, and attention to assure that they are growing in their communication, social, literacy, and math skills.
