What Parents are saying about us...

"My daughter has attended Gap Academy for the past three years and has made excellent progress. The staff are exceptionally hardworking and dedicated to the interests of their students... They have shown amazing analytic skills in identifying problem areas and designing interventions to address those issues. The methods for behavioural intervention are unorthodox but they have worked well. There is a balanced, firm, and focussed approach with warmth and enthusiasm, which has resulted in a considerable behaviour improvement. The staff is responsive to the difficulties we experience at home and go well above the call of duty to help us work on solutions... My daughter has shown remarkable progress in her educational achievement..." G.L.

"Over and above the academic improvement, Gap offers its students extra-curricular activities that have helped in life skills, social and behavioural areas including outings and overnight trips. My daughter has enjoyed these experiences and has demonstrated growth in independence through them. I would definitely recommend Gap for children with special needs who require an unconventional approach to their education." M.G.W.

"One year ago we were in the process of looking for a qualified Educational Facility to enroll our twelve year old daughter who has a learning disability. After hiring an Educational Consultant, who in turn referred us to Gap Academy, we strongly believe that we have found the right school. Gap Academy has made us aware of the fact that there is no child with a learning disability who cannot learn. The Principal is very gifted and trained to spend the time to 'reach' these children with their individual needs. The staff at Gap firmly believe that every child can learn. The repetition of important classroom skills is definitely reinforced at all times. Learning is Gap's first priority. The curriculum is modified to reach every individual child, yet it also follows the Ministry guidelines. Each student's strengths and weaknesses are monitored and encouragement is given in many different forms. Independence is something that is totally reinforced throughout the enrollment, beginning even with the first forms, which require the student themselves to fill out a form. My daughter has learned to master whatever she has been given. She has become confident in her learning just over a short period of time. I am very encouraged by the complete dedication and support of the teaching staff. They are concerned with the total child. They make recommendations and actively follow up any suggestions given by professionals. All the best to Gap Academy and a heartfelt thank you from my husband, myself, and my daughter." D.J.
