Their staff members are professionally trained in dealing with all kinds of special needs.

At special needs schools in BC, learning is a partnership between education's three primary stakeholders: students, their parents, and teachers.

Because private or independent special needs schools typically have plenty of resources, they can significantly enrich your child's education. Extracurricular activities and help outside the class are common in British Columbia's private and independent schools. These resources are especially important for students with special needs, as they provide extra academic and social support to ensure that children are not left behind.
