Chisholm's Programs and Services
More than just a high school or educational service, Chisholm provides students, including those with special needs, with a variety of educational options including:
- Private senior elementary school
- Private high school
- Tutoring and remediation services
- Affiliate program (Chisholm Assessment Centre) providing educational assessments and counselling services
Private Senior Elementary School
The senior elementary program for students in grade 7 and 8 has a special education focus and incorporates a variety of teaching strategies and accommodations, as well as remediation in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics, as required by each student. Similar to their high school counterparts, senior elementary students benefit from Individual Education Plans, small class sizes, Smart Board technology in all classrooms, after-school support, multi-disciplinary staff, and a modern and well-equipped 25,000 square foot building.
Private High School
The high school's two biggest advantages over other schools are the multi-disciplinary staff and the fact that an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is written for each student. This IEP includes an overview of strengths and weaknesses as well as teaching strategies that best suit the student's learning profile. The student's IEP is reviewed annually. Similar to their senior elementary counterparts, high school students also benefit from small class sizes, Smart Board technology in all classrooms, after-school support, and a modern and well-equipped 25,000 square foot building.
Tutoring and Remediation Services
Tutoring helps struggling students and children with learning difficulties to develop academic skills and self confidence. Skill building programs are also available, including Organizational and Study Skills, E.S.L. Instruction, Essay Writing, Computer Skills Training, Grade 10 Literacy Test Preparation and S.S.A.T., S.A.T. and GED Preparation. Providing students with the tools to achieve academic success is what Chisholm Academy's tutoring services are all about.
