Learning Support

At ISH we believe that the role of schools and the purpose of inclusive education is to help students discover their strengths by removing the barriers so they can live up to their full potential. This can only occur when we recognise that all students are different and learn in different ways. The level of support required is based on our assessment and identification practices, as outlined in the school’s Inclusion Policy (available for download here). In some cases, we require additional fees in order to provide the support. The fees have been kept as low as possible. The various levels of support and accompanying fees are described in the form below. 
 

In the below table are the three different levels of support that ultimately provides the best possible learning environment for students at ISH. There may be slight variations between PS, MS and HS in the implementation of Learning Support and these will be discussed with you when relevant.

Overview of Support Levels
