Our Counsellor and Learning Support provide a number of important services for our students.
Our Counsellor support provides, academic educational planning, facilitated interactions and communication between teachers and students, and personal, social emotional counselling.
SAIL has limited learning support due to the on-line nature of our program and courses. Support is based on teacher recommendations and school-based team referrals. Individual Education Plans can be developed if needed. Every effort is made to meet the unique needs of our students. Adaptations, or modifications to instruction and curriculum can be adjusted based on students’ needs.
