Academic support is available for remediation, enrichment, and acceleration beyond what is provided by the regular classroom teachers. Once identified, students, working in small learning groups, are provided with appropriate support for specific disciplines.

The Learners’ Enhanced Academic Program (LEAP) is a customized curriculum supporting students with specific learning challenges and facilitating their success. This program enables these students to receive individual and group support in any aspects of our general and Judaic curricula.

Adolescent social and emotional development issues, as well as family issues, are supported through individual counselling as well as a variety of age-appropriate programs planned and implemented by our guidance counsellors. A comprehensive career counselling program is also in place for our Secondary V students.
