Campbell Children’s School

As a Section 68 School and Grandview’s education partner, we are located with the Oshawa main site of the Children’s Treatment Centre.

 

This unique program integrates the Kindergarten Program within the child’s individual therapeutic goals. The school team works closely with the therapeutic team ensuring that goals are achievable in the small class setting. Students transition to their home school after a one-year placement.

Everyone Belongs At Our School

Diversity, equity and inclusion

By design, our program supports each student’s unique abilities through an equitable and inclusive classroom model. Our program is truly equitable, as we remove the barriers to learning, and every child can participate regardless of their ability. Students benefit from the support they receive from their therapist and classroom team, and students are also able to model skills to peers and encourage each other to reach their goals. Pictured on your right, Keegan and Connor participate in a painting activity using a spinner. By integrating technology, both students fully participate without making any changes to the activity. This image is an excellent example of how students can encourage and support each other. Connor puts up his hands to help Keegan select a colour to use on the spinner. Keegan touched Connor’s left hand communicating that she would like to use the blue paint.

A student extends her arms to the side and encourages a classmate using a walker to walk to her.

These relationships are long-lasting and help develop a sense of belonging and inclusion.

As another example of friends encouraging each other, to the left, you find a picture of classmates Raegan and Kemi. Kemi is learning how to use a walker to assist her in taking steps independently. Raegan is standing on the other side of the room and encouraging Kemi to walk toward her. These relationships are long-lasting and help develop a sense of belonging and inclusion.

Our Program

The school has classrooms rich with opportunities for students to learn the curriculum in various ways; hands-on activities, independent tasks, child-led play, outdoor time and teacher-led engagement. We use a variety of resources to help students succeed; technology such as iPads, chrome books, switches, CORE boards, manipulatives, and STEM activities.

A Community Partner

Our partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays and their Jays Care Foundation – Challenger Baseball program has our students learning about sport through play, every week. The students learn about healthy eating, physical literacy, wellness, sports, self-regulation, and more. Everyone is an athlete!
