Developmental Disabilities
Our program for students with Developmental Disabilities includes 6 intensive support classes, staffed by Special Education Teachers, Educational Assistants, Special Needs Assistants, Lunchroom Supervisors and a Child and Youth Worker. The curriculum covers Functional Academics, Social Skills, Physical Education, Life Skills and Experiential Learning.
Gifted Program
The Gifted Program offers courses in core subject areas, including English, History, Geography, Math, Science and French. Gifted classes at BPCI are self-contained and the curriculum is accommodated to meet the learning needs of gifted students. Course delivery is differentiated by breadth in that the content explores broad-based themes, and by depth and pace of topics. Inquiry-based learning organized around essential questions is a general focus of the program.
Physical Program
Students with physical disabilities are fully integrated into the school community with support from the PH Program. Accommodations for physical needs (i.e. alternative seating, transportation, personal needs) and educational needs (i.e. scribe, additional time, assistive technology) are provided based on the strengths and needs of the individual student. Students in the PH Program have access to a resource room that is fully adapted to their needs and is staffed by a Special Education Resource Teacher. Students may also receive one-on-one support in the classroom provided by Educational Assistants.
Resource Room Support
BPCI offers resource room support for all students with an IEP(Individual Education Plan).
