Every student can learn. Just not on the same day or in the same way. ''George Evans''
LAS believes that each and every child is special, with unique combinations of needs and abilities that affect the process of learning.
This is the reason why, LAS embraces a special education department which provides a healthy, social, emotional, intellectual, and social ambiance for special kids with special needs.
Our special education department welcomes students who need either modified or special programs.
-
Modified programs: serves students from Kindergarten till grade 12 who receive 6 to 10 hours per week of private pull-out sessions, in addition to modified tests.
These sessions target the students' weaknesses in certain subjects and help them advance in a pace that suits their abilities.
-
Special Programs: serves primary students (cycles 1 and 2 ) , middle school ( grades 7,8,9) and high school ( grades 10,11,12) students by providing Individualized Educational Programs (IEP) to each student, in addition to occupational therapy and psychological counselling sessions.
All classes are given by qualified and experienced special education teachers.
Students who mainly benefit from special programs are those with learning difficulties (dyslexia, dyscalculia,dysortographia,dysphasia,dys…), ADHD ( Attention Deficiency and Hyper activity Disorder) , ADD ( Attention Deficiency Disorder) , and selected cases of students with Autism(cases that can be integrated in a regular school ).
