Inclusive Education

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Introduction

The North Vancouver School District (NVSD) is committed to ensuring inclusion and equitable access to learning for all students. We recognize that diversity and intersectionality is a source of enrichment and strength. NVSD schools strive to create learning communities that create a sense of belonging for all students. We are committed to equitable access for all students through inclusive practices that are person centred, flexible and focused on improving educational outcomes.

We support inclusive education in our schools and classrooms through a continuum of services and supports. Students are supported through a layered systemβ€”starting with universal classroom strategies which are foundational in every classroom to help all learners succeed. Additional targeted supports are provided to students who need more than the universal strategies, this could include targeted skill building or small group support. Intensive supports are often highly individualized based on the unique needs of a student. The school team works collaboratively to provide supports at the classroom level through the School-Based Resource Team and with the support of District Specialists who comprise the Learning Services Team.​
