Flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of students is an important feature of inclusive education programming. Specific delivery models for individualized programs may vary from class to class and from school to school depending on the needs of the individual students.
St. Gabriel School is designed to meet the unique needs of students with complex emotional and behavioural challenges and neurodevelopmental disorders. Families may choose a program at St. Gabriel School because their child is not currently experiencing success in their community school setting or need additional specialized services.
The diverse learning needs of the students who attend St. Gabriel require a personalized approach to learning that focuses on developing student competencies.
Our goal is to engage students in their learning and to develop the knowledge and capacity of their community school to create learning environments and opportunities that support the transition of students back to their community school. Students who attend St. Gabriel School may have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (GIST program) or an Emotional Behavioural Disorder (PBS program), although a diagnosis is not required.
