Many students with diverse needs and abilities find a welcoming alternative at Navigate-NIDES. Our online learning programs offer an avenue that allows learners to progress at their own pace and in the comfort of their own homes while maintaining the sense of community of a conventional school environment on their terms.

When you register your child with diverse needs and abilities at Navigate-NIDES, one of our British Columbia certified Learning Support Teachers (LSTs) will create an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) in consultation with you. This plan will consider your child’s strengths and areas for growth, and outline how to best support them throughout their educational journey, helping them reach their full potential.
