RISE program (Reaching Individual Students in Education)

The RISE program is a self-contained class within a regular school. We have two RISE classes, one for grades 3 and 4 and one for grades 5 and 6. It is designed in particular for students with learning difficulties.

The program provides a low teacher/student ratio with both intensive academic support and differentiated instruction. Lessons are adapted to meet the specific needs and levels of the class.

The decision to place a student in a self-contained class is considered when the school team feels that it is in the best interest of the child. Such a decision is made after appropriate consultation with the student's parents, teachers, and professionals via a case conference.

The objective of this program, as with all self-contained classrooms, is to integrate the student into a regular classroom.
