Gap Goals

Primary Goal

Our primary goal is the ultimate and successful re-integration of our students into a regular school setting with minimal support. Obviously, for some students, this is an easier task than for others. To attain our primary goal, we include an intensive upgrading of students' skill gaps to the level of the Ministry and Board guidelines for appropriate grade levels. We also provide them with individually tailored learning strategies which they can apply to other settings to ensure their continued success.

Secondary Goals

At Gap, we also believe in achieving the following:

  1. The understanding and attainment of socially acceptable and appropriate behaviours.
  2. The further comprehension and integration of personal awareness, including the students' understanding of their own disabilities and abilities.
  3. The attainment of a level of true independence in life skills and academic ability.
  4. The development of academic tolerance, determination and success through the use of effective study, learning, and homework strategies.
