environment include:

  • Small classroom sizes
  • STEAM labs
  • Interactive lessons, discovery learning
  • Integration of technology into lessons and activities
  • Natural Environment Teaching spaces
  • Multi-sensory environments

We carry out individualized
learning through:

  • Individual, small group and whole-class instruction
  • Related services push into the classroom
  • Instructional scaffolding
  • Differentiated instruction
  • Direct instruction
