The Dunblaine School
Quality Education for Children with Learning Disabilities
Highly individualized Gr. 1 through Gr. 8 programs are implemented at The Dunblaine School based on Ontario Curriculum Guidelines. Carefully prepared and structured learning plans are used for specific academic skills in reading, writing and arithmetic.
At Dunblaine, we believe in offering many avenues for learning to cater to the unique needs of each student. While we are excited about our upcoming partnership with Apple to explore new technology, we are also committed to pursuing a variety of approaches beyond tech. From personalized lesson plans and hands-on activities to tailored assessments, our goal is to ensure that every student finds the tools and strategies that work best for their individual learning style. One size does not fit all, and we will continue to explore diverse methods to enhance each student’s educational experience.
KeyMath
KeyMath was newly introduced to Dunblaine staff and students this year. This program promotes mathematical confidence, reinforces basic numeracy, and utilizes grade-specific materials and workbooks that enable students to learn skills and concepts through step-by-step instruction. With consistent practice and preparation in daily math activities, achievement and success is possible for all students.
Adaptive Technology
Adaptive technology, which includes literacy-based computer software such as Word Q, Speak Q, Inspiration, and Draftbuilder, is also available to our students. For successful use and promotion of computer technology, each student is assessed to determine appropriate programs, and trained on the devices accordingly to become independent learners. The features of our software help with gathering information, organization, completion of written output, and confidence.
