The school has an Educational Support Unit (ESU) that offers a special support program according to a student's level and directs students diagnosed as special needs to the ESU. Students are assessed continuously throughout the year, and the ESU may determine that a shadow teacher is required; parents must cover the costs of such support. Report cards indicate the program the student is currently on. The ESU page describes ongoing evaluation and the possibility of varying levels of support year to year.
