Your child faces many challenges every day — feeling good at school shouldn’t be one of them!

The government's policy aims to prioritize the inclusion of all students in regular schools and classrooms. Some schools offer programs with educational support, while others provide specialized pathways to better meet the needs of gifted students. However, since government funding is not adjusted for students with disabilities or those with adaptation or learning difficulties, a private school may not be able to offer all the necessary services for certain students with special needs.

If your child has a condition that requires special support, please contact the admissions staff at private schools in your area to discuss it.

In cases where integration is not the optimal solution, there are also private schools specialized in educational adaptation that may offer suitable options.

Programs with educational support

Some private schools offer customized programs for students with specific challenges (learning disabilities, attention deficit, academic delay, etc.).

Students enrolled in these programs may, among other things, benefit from smaller group settings. Teaching in these groups is provided by specially trained teachers who are equipped to guide students toward success. These classes are generally offered in collaboration with special education specialists.

In other cases, students are integrated into regular classrooms but receive support tailored to their needs, along with remedial instruction.
