INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT
We ensure a high level of both academic and emotional support for all students. Students are assigned an advisor, as well as having access to our psychologist and learning support specialist. Small student-centred classes enable our teachers to cater to each student’s individual needs. The learning is personalized and students thrive in an environment where they feel supported and nurtured.
ONLINE SUPPORT
Assignments are posted on our comprehensive educational software platform, Microsoft Teams, enabling students to keep up with their studies when they are unable to attend classes due either to the Covid-19 pandemic or tournament travel. Parents and students alike have access to a platform called Sycamore. Here, they can check all of their grades as well as their attendance records.
