Curriculum
The bellcate School completes curriculum planning using an ecological approach that is relational-based, skills-based and physiologically oriented in focus. This approach carefully examines the relationship between people and their environment. A supportive team considers the environments, activities and skills that are most relevant and important for a given student. Curricula are then developed from these unique needs, goals and priorities. The student’s curricula are in continuous evolution as the student’s needs, goals and opportunities change. Over the course of a student’s study at the bellcate School, the individual’s curricula follow a path of progressive refinement and complexity as skill sets develop and grow.
The school’s programs focus on teaching age-appropriate skills that are relevant to each individual student’s life. It is this flexible and highly precise approach that allows the professionals at the bellcate School to meet the extraordinary and varied needs of its student population. Our ecological approach encourages adaptations across settings to simplify tasks.
We base our programming on the distinctive skills and experience of our teaching staff. Drawing on the talents and expertise of our professional staff, the bellcate School creates opportunities for meeting the minimum course of study in high interest classes for the students.
