ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Rockhaven School presently provides two levels of Functional Academics and Life Skills programming. To account for the individual special needs of each student, differentiated instruction, smaller class sizes, and a specially trained staff, enable each student to work to their full potential and achieve success.
Structured Learning Class
The Structured Learning Class (SLC) focuses on developing communication, self-regulation, and
social skills, as outlined in Policy & Program Memorandum (PPM) 140, along with instruction in
functional academics (literacy and numeracy). Students in this program work towards alternative
program expectations, including functional literacy and numeracy, rather than the Ontario
Curriculum expectations.
