I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Our Philosophy
All students in our schools, regardless of ability, have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they will need to be successful in school and beyond.
Our program is designed specifically for students on Individual Education Plans (IEP’s). These students will have access to additional resources to address their individual strengths and needs—counselling, technology, quiet learning spaces, one-on-one assistance, etc.
Resource Support
Here is a snapshot of what we do:
· We support student learning through direct support as outlined in their Individual Education Plans;
· We collaborate with classroom teachers to set learning goals and teaching strategies to address student needs;
· We assist students with strategies to improve their confidence, self-advocacy, interpersonal skills and general well-being, and
· We act as a liaison between the students, their families and the classroom teachers.
General Learning Strategies (GLE) - Credit Generating Courses
Students who require additional support might be eligible for GLE. In this course, students not only work on completing tasks for their other courses, they also complete assignments focusing specifically on time management, organization, study habits, exam preparation, literacy and numeracy, as needed (Must be approved by LST).
