Special Education Department

At Woodbridge College we offer a variety of Special Education programs and courses for our exceptional students.  

Our programs and courses range from Community Classes*  and Learning Strategies courses from grade 9 through 12.

The community classes that are offered are: Multiple Exceptionalities (ME), MID Intensive, and Complex Needs (Regional).

Our school is a dynamic learning community where we encourage all our students to take advantage of our wide range of excellent programs, activities, and growth opportunities.

Through these experiences students will have the opportunity to make friendships, develop personal management, teamwork, and leadership skills.  Students will enjoy the experience of success and have a lot of fun.

*All community class placements are made through the Student Support Services Principals and are regional placements.​
