Nurturing Unique Abilities: Inclusive Education

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.  While most enrichment happens in the regular classroom, some math classes at the Middle School are accelerated and the Secondary School offers some AP (Advanced Placed) courses.

The Special Education Program serves those students eligible for funding under the provincial independent schools program. These students have specific needs such as hearing loss, developmental delay, serious illnesses, cerebral palsy, autism, behavioural needs, medically diagnosed social and emotional needs, etc.

The Learning Assistance Program provides support for students with learning needs who do not qualify for special education funding.


The ELL Program supports students who are learning English as a new language.
