Our approach begins with understanding each student’s unique learning profile, strengths, challenges, and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our highly trained educators adapt instruction and provide the structure, strategies, and individualized support students need to make meaningful progress.
Our educators use specialized teaching strategies to help students access the Ontario curriculum, strengthen foundational skills, address academic gaps, and build on their individual strengths. Students receive support based on their individual learning needs and may work on specific academic skills while also developing the strategies needed to become more confident and independent learners.
Learning support may include:
Learning support at Junior Academy extends beyond the classroom. Our educators work collaboratively with students, families, and a multidisciplinary team to create a coordinated approach to each student’s education.
Where appropriate, students may also benefit from specialized services such as ABA therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language support, and other therapeutic services.
Our goal is to ensure that academic, social-emotional, developmental, and learning needs are understood and supported as part of the whole student.
Developing strong executive functioning skills is an important part of learning support at Junior Academy.
Students are supported in developing skills such as:
These skills help students become more effective learners and prepare them for increasing academic and personal independence.
