“Special education is not the service, it is the means by which those students get meaningful access to the general education services available to all [students]”. 

~ Supreme Court of Canada 


Special Education at King Edward and the TDSB

At King Edward and across the Toronto District School Board, we recognize that every student has a unique learning profile. We believe in identifying and building on each student’s strengths to support their growth and success.

Special education is a collaborative process that helps us understand individual learning needs, celebrate strengths, and target areas for development. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We also recognize the vital role parents and guardians play in their child’s education. You have the right to be informed and involved every step of the way.

To support you, we’ve provided a link below to TDSB’s Parent Guides, which cover a wide range of topics related to special education.
