Our Special educators help to develop Individual Education Plans (IEPs). They can identify and set reasonable academic targets for students and help determine what students need in order to succeed in school. They work as advisors for the student's family, answering their questions and providing advice through the process of developing the IEP.
Sustainable Development Goals SDGs
Eleven boys and girls die every single minute from preventable causes. Tens of millions of children are still not in school. Hundreds of millions of people have no access to clean water.

We do realize how difficult the task may be, but we understand this is something that we must commit ourselves to. Because in doing so, we prove to be the global leaders in this international community.
