Learning Support

East Lake School champions the idea that every child deserves access to a quality education within an inclusive and supportive environment. Our Inclusive Learning Support Model is crafted to ensure that all students, regardless of their diverse learning needs and abilities, receive the personalized support and resources necessary to excel academically, socially, and emotionally.

We acknowledge the uniqueness of each child and understand that different students require varied levels of assistance to thrive. Our Inclusive Learning Support Model tailors individualized support plans according to each student's strengths, challenges, and learning objectives. Through continuous assessment and collaboration with educators, parents, and support staff, we craft personalized strategies to meet the distinct needs of every student.

We firmly believe in the power of teamwork and collaboration to foster student success. Our multidisciplinary team, comprised of teachers, educational assistants, counselors, therapists, and specialists, works collaboratively to devise and implement effective support plans for students with diverse learning needs. By combining our expertise and resources, we establish a cohesive and unified support system that maximizes student growth and achievement.

Our educators employ differentiated instruction techniques to accommodate various learning styles, abilities, and interests present in the classroom. They adjust lesson plans, teaching materials, and assessment methods to ensure that all students have equitable access to the curriculum and opportunities for triumph.

We cultivate an environment of inclusion and acceptance, where each student feels valued, respected, and supported. Our school actively promotes diversity, empathy, and understanding, celebrating the unique strengths and contributions of every individual. We create a safe and inviting atmosphere where students from diverse backgrounds, abilities, and identities can flourish and find a sense of belonging.
