Face 2 Face

RCOA is an inclusive learning community that encourages learners with diverse needs to participate, connect and learn in a wide variety of in-person Elementary and High School classes, clubs, and activities.  We also welcome learners to take part in virtual LiveStream clubs and classes.  Special Education Coordinators and Special Education Assistants come alongside to support and encourage success.  

Online

Technology offers wonderful learning opportunities for learners of all abilities. Choose adapted online courses or incorporate a wide variety of assistive technology, specialized online subscriptions, computer software, laptops and tablets into your child’s unique special education program.

Home Learning

We partner with families to create unique, individualized, home-based special education programs using an eclectic mix of specialized learning resources, community therapy programs and inclusive activities.

“I believe in…. supporting special education learners by coming alongside and collaborating with parents who are truly the experts when it comes to knowing their child’s unique learning needs.”
