STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
|
Dunnville Christian School (the “School”) is actively striving to be a more inclusive school, recognizing the diversity that exists amongst God’s children. Each child that comes through the School’s doors is a unique creation of the one true God and is made in His image—regardless of ability, ethnic background, or socio-economic status.

The School values a Christ-centered community that is a safe and caring environment in which all students develop their God-given gifts and use them as participants in God’s Kingdom. Each child is to be part of a caring Christian community within the classroom and school. The student support services strive to complement and foster this development and feeling of security within the classroom by providing support and assistance, when needed, in order to help the student flourish within the classroom.
The School is committed to providing a positive learning environment, in both the regular classroom and with student support services, for students. Educational opportunities aim to nurture the unique needs and talents of each child with exceptionalities using a strengths-based student-centered approach. This occurs in different settings: individual or small group settings, sometimes in the regular classroom, and sometimes withdrawn from the classroom. We are committed to meeting the academic and social needs of each student to the best of our ability, in order that each child may feel like an important, integral part of the classroom community.
Striving to meet the unique needs of each student to the best of our ability is a challenging process that, at times, requires discussion and review. The School is a privately owned and operated institution which seeks to provide an attainable Christ-centered education for its students. As such, the limited resources we have may affect the amount of specialized education the School is able to provide. The School will accommodate enrolled students to the point of undue hardship in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Admittance of a student with exceptionalities requires significant and intentional communication in order to determine a student’s strengths and needs and the ability of the School to meet those needs. At times, a student’s needs may be better met elsewhere. A procedure for admittance of a new student with exceptionalities as well as a procedure for access to additional support for a current student of the School is outlined in the Student Support Services Procedures.
