How are students supported in their learning?

RVS believes all students can and want to learn, to belong, and to experience mastery and independence within their learning. We believe inclusive education and inclusion in schools, classrooms and learning environments is the best way to nurture and accomplish success for all. At École Edwards we work hard to care for and support all students towards success in their learning.

RVS' Learning Supports team works closely with school staff to support students with learning, social/emotional, sensory, behavioural, physical, cognitive, adaptive, communication, physical and mental health care needs to flourish and to meet their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally. At École Edwards we have a strong and knowledgeable team working closely together, collaborating and problem solving, to support students in their strengths, based on their needs.
