ESL Most students can read and write in their first language when they arrive in Canada but may have limited English skills. English as a Second Language (ESL) and English Language Development(ELD) programs help students learn English so they can participate fully in the curriculum and school life with their English-speaking classmates. English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are for students who have had age-appropriate schooling in their home country. 

MID Programming The elementary Mild Intellectual Disability (MID) Special Education Class placement is characterized by a smaller class size, Educational Assistant support and a lunchroom supervisor to provide support during lunch. Instruction is targeted to address the full range of a student’s academic and adaptive skills, as well as emotional and social development. Planned opportunities for successful integration with regular school day and programs are an important component.
