Kingston - School Report Question and Answers

The Learning Support Program is a disorganized mess and one of the biggest disappointments I have about this school. We were told our son would receive support, but I feel like I am having to pull teeth to get them to put together an appropriate plan. We see a therapist and we asked them to collaborate with the therapist, and they sort of do, but only if I'm prompting them to do so at every step. Additionally, some of the teachers seem to want to follow the plan, and some don't. We chose this school because we were told their LSP was better than Hillel's, but I'm learning now that's not true. I have a friend whose son is high-functioning autistic and she says Hillel's support is really good, whereas AISK would not even consider admitting him. Not taking a second look at Hillel is one of my biggest regrets about this posting. I might actually like this country if we were in a school that had appropriate support and respectful communication with the parents. - Sep 2023


Not sure. Again, our kids were in regular classes with no special curriculum or supports. - Jun 2016
