Special Education Department

The mission of the Calvin Christian School's (CCS) Special Education Department is to provide inclusive education which recognizes that each child is uniquely created by God with a distinctive learning style and ability. Due to their learning differences, some children need classroom accommodations or program modifications to experience success in their learning. At Calvin Christian School, students with learning exceptionalities are integrated into the regular classroom to the fullest extent possible. The special education teachers collaborate with classroom teachers and paraeducators to make appropriate classroom accommodations. They also form learning plans for students who are in need of individual or small group instruction for one or more subjects. Participation in the Special Education Program is preceded by a process consisting of a referral, an assessment procedure, and a placement decision. If you have concerns about your child's learning, please speak to your child's teacher to initiate a possible referral to the Special Education Department.
