Special Needs

Special Educational Needs refer to learners with physical, and developmental disabilities; behavioral, emotional, and communication disorders; and learning deficiencies. Special Educational Needs refers to teaching learners who -for intellectual or medical reasons- fall behind with their education when compared to most of their peers.
Special education refers to a range of services that can be provided in different ways and in different settings. There’s no “one size fits all” approach to special education. We strive to meet the needs of students with disabilities, to help them learn, but it doesn’t mean placing kids in a special classroom all day long; instead kids who get special education services should learn in the same classrooms as other kids as much as possible.
The services and support for one student may be very different from those of another. For example, some students may spend most of the day in a general education classroom, others may spend just an hour or two in a resource room working with a specialist. Other students might need to attend a different school that specializes in teaching kids with learning disabilities.

Kids who qualify for special education get individualized teaching and other resources at no cost to their families. Specialists work with kids on strengths as well as challenges. And families are key members of the team that decides what kids need to thrive in school.

We at the British Scientific School accept students with special educational needs according to the following procedure:


  • We contact the student’s family to set an appointment to meet them at the school.
  • A meeting is held by the school’s principal, kindergarten principal, counselor, and special needs specialist.
  • Together they evaluate the kid’s capability of joining the school. (If not, they advice the parents with the best course of action, depending on the kid’s needs).
  • If the kid is to join us at the school, we immediately start setting working plans for him, his teachers, and most importantly, his parents.
