Our beliefs on inclusion

The school board believes all students are entitled to learn together in an inclusive environment for their shared benefit. Inclusive schools celebrate uniqueness and diversity and enhance the dignity and self-respect of all students.

Guiding principles

Inclusive schools:

  • have environments that are flexible, provide for age-appropriate placement, transcend location and support student learning;
  • have educators who seek to understand and accommodate the diverse learning needs of all students to support individual academic, social, and personal growth;
  • actively support, promote, and welcome collaborative consultation with parents/guardians and all educational partners;
  • require a flexible learning environment where curriculum adaptations and modifications are assumed, ensuring curriculum relevance and accessibility for all students;
  • actively work with other agencies and community organizations to facilitate access to services for children and families.
