Academic support program

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 goal is to ensure that students achieve their potential by providing them with the strategies and skills tailored to their learning profile.

Formerly known as the "Learners’ Enhanced Academic Program (LEAP)," it is a customized curriculum supporting students with specific learning challenges in order to facilitate their success. This program enables these students to receive individual and group support in many aspects of our general curricula. 

Students are integrated in all areas of the Bialik social community and participate in all areas of Judaic studies and general studies, as well as co-curricular activities.

Personal and Social Development Services

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.

A Structure that Meets the Needs of All Students

Cycle 1

This “school within a school” is designed to meet the particular academic and social needs of our Cycle 1 students. It is led by the Dean of Students, working with a team of classroom teachers and other faculty members, including a transition teacher who supports students’ academic and social transition from elementary to high school. The team focuses on students’ academic progress along with co-curricular and extracurricular activities and programs of particular interest to Cycle 1 students.

Cycle2

The  Senior High School addresses the academic and social needs of our senior students. Academic progress, an eye on post-secondary educational options, and opportunities of student leadership programs, along with co-curricular and extracurricular activities, are among the areas of focus for the team of educators  led by the Principal and the Dean of Students.
