Due to the rigorous nature of the academic program, ISNS is not prepared to support students who have exceptional needs that require significant support. Should your child need special support, please contact the school administration.
The Learning Support Department is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment where all students can access, participate in, and succeed in their educational experience. Through a collaborative and student-centered approach, Learning Support teachers work alongside students, families, classroom teachers, administrators, and external specialists to identify and respond to diverse learning needs. Guided by the school’s commitment to inclusion and its Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), the department helps ensure that students receive the appropriate level of support, accommodations, and interventions needed to reach their individual potential while remaining engaged members of the school community.
The Learning Support Department provides a range of services designed to support students with diverse learning profiles and exceptionalities. These services may include consultation, targeted interventions, accommodations, progress monitoring, and the development of Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) as appprporiate. Learning Support teachers collaborate closely with classroom teachers to promote differentiated instruction, remove barriers to learning, and implement evidence-based strategies that support student success. The department also partners with families and external providers to ensure a coordinated approach that addresses each student’s unique strengths and needs while promoting independence, self-advocacy, and growth.
