special education department

CRCS offers special education services as a ministry to our students who have physical, academic, social, and emotional needs. These programs enable students to have equal access to learning so they can achieve the goals of their educational programs, as well as the opportunity to develop their gifts and abilities as they grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CRCS offers an inclusive model of education, where students are educated with their same-aged peers in regular classrooms
as much as possible.

SPECIAL EDUCATION POLICY

Admission of special education students will be based on consideration of the following factors:
1. classroom composition (academic, social, and behavioural issues)
2. the recommendation of the school-based team which is composed of: the principal, the special education director, and the parent concerned.
