Foundations is a specialized classroom environment for students with complex needs, which may present as physical, behavioural, academic, sensory or medical
challenges.

The Foundations Program provides an opportunity for students to learn at an individualized pace in a safe and caring learning environment with purposeful opportunities for inclusion. Emphasis is placed on communication, self- care, basic literacy and numeracy, personal, social and vocational skills in the classroom and the community. Each student is provided an Instructional Support Plan (ISP) that highlights individualized adaptations or modifications based on their strengths, talents and abilities. This program can be accessed through the referral process. Students must meet entrance requirements assessed by the Model of Student Support (MS2) Team.

The Blended Program is to meet the academic needs of individual learners that may require intensive intervention in numeracy and literacy. The students are within the mainstream classrooms for other subjects. High school programs have a focus on adapted Career and Technology Studies (CTS) to develop work-related skills.
