School Profile

Welcome to Westmount Avenue Public School – a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school that supports students with special education needs in intensive support classrooms.

Westmount Avenue Public School provides programming for students with exceptionalities compounded by autism spectrum disorder, physical exceptionalities, and/or psycho-social difficulties. Our students benefit from a full curriculum which includes academics, communication and social skills, life skills, physical education and the arts.

Our school provides individual programs through the provision of low student teacher ratios, specialized teachers and educational assistants, and specialized teaching strategies.

Our staff of dedicated professionals strive to provide each student with quality care and educational experiences tailored to their individual needs.

Admission
In order to access programs, students must be identified with a developmental disability by an IPRC and must also be approved by the Superintendent of Special Education and a local area Admission Review and Demission Committee.

Programs
Students are given the opportunity to explore a variety of learning experiences designed to develop and enhance their independent living skills including the use of a sensory room. The sensory room is accessed by students who benefit most from its calming effects. The calm space provides an atmosphere of relaxation, while stimulating the senses of sight, sound and touch.

At Westmount Avenue Public School, we have a culture of warmth, caring, compassion, hope and excellence.
