EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES – Enrichment
Abbotsford Christian School believes that all students, regardless of their physical, academic, social and emotional needs, have an essential role to play in the school community. They are all to be valued as members of the Body of Christ. On the basis of this belief, an inclusive model of education has been set up whereby all students are educated with their same-aged peers in regular classrooms as much as possible. Educational Support Services have been established to assist teachers in providing appropriate inclusive education for students with differing needs.
The Enrichment Program addresses the learning needs of students who have the potential to excel in various areas such as academics, music, physical education, etc. Students in this program are serviced by classroom teachers, a learning assistant (if needed) and the vice principal for educational services. The vice principal for educational services or someone assigned to this task will have designated time for enrichment coordination. An inclusive school seeks to enrich the learning of highly academic students in their age-peer classes to the greatest extent possible. This goal is primarily achieved through the implementation of differentiated instruction. Acceleration in some subjects at specific grade levels may also be available.
