Learning support

The Learning support department exists at BOS to support and diagnose students who have mild learning or emotional difficulties. Currently there are four full time members in the department as well as a school Psychologist.  The department operates with students both within the classroom and sometimes with withdrawal depending on the particular students’ needs.

Baku Oxford School is able to meet the needs of students with mild learning disabilities but may not be able to provide specialized staff to meet the needs of exceptional learners, while maintaining challenging grade level academic and behavioral standards. At the time of application, parents must supply all materials (transcripts, results of testing etc) related to the unique needs of their children and a decision will be made regarding acceptance on a case by case basis depending on the needs of the student and the school’s ability to provide support and assistance. Students with identified needs will be monitored year on year and parents kept informed of progress. However, should the students’ needs become more than the school can support, then the school will reserve the right not to continue with enrollment for the next academic year and work with the parents to find more suitable educational opportunities. BOS may also request additional testing and evaluations during the academic year for any student in consultation with the parents. The tests will be at the expense of the family and could influence that child’s enrollment at BOS.
