Special Education

Gifted Programs

The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) administers a universal assessment to all grade four students. Results from this assessment inform a consideration for the exceptionality of Giftedness. Students who meet the criteria are offered the opportunity to be presented at an Identification, Placement and Review Committee meeting (IPRC).

The TCDSB offers a full range of placement opportunities for students who are identified with the exceptionality of Giftedness, including a one-day-a-week gifted withdrawal program and a full-time congregated intensive support class placement.
