The learning support teacher will review every admissions file to assess both learning needs and possible grade placement of children wishing entrance to Gaglardi Academy.
Testing of some children will occur before admission if the learning support teacher requires additional information to make an admission or placement recommendation to the Director.
When the rare circumstance occurs when it may be in the best educational interest of the child to consider retention or acceleration, then the final decision for placement will rest with the Director in consultation with parents and the learning support teacher.
