We believe in supporting every student so they can succeed
The HOPE Program at GVCS Broadfording Designed to support students with mild learning disabilities, the HOPE Program provides additional resources, therapy, and tutoring to students that need it. Students are accommodated so that they can remain in the general education classroom. A 504 Plan (classroom accommodation checklist) outlines the student’s educational needs and is given to the classroom teacher. To further support our HOPE students in the classroom, three therapists are on staff throughout the school day and GVCSB PK-5th grade teachers are trained in the Orton-Gillingham method.
High school students connected to the HOPE Program work toward earning either a GVCS Broadfording diploma or a certificate of graduation. This determination is based upon each student’s response to intervention and their level of independence.

When a need is identified, specialized tutoring (Orton-Gillingham) or therapy (NILD therapy) is available for an additional fee.
