Interactions programming supports students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD impacts how people understand what they see, hear and sense. This lifelong disability can result in difficulties in communication, social relationships, behaviour or learning. Although some students with ASD achieve at grade level, many have uneven or delayed achievement.  Rosslyn School has a very strong and caring program to support these young students.  The program itself has received many accolades and provincial, national, and international recognition.  Here is a link providing more information about the program.

Connections programming assists students with chronic, extreme, pervasive anti-social behaviours. Programming supports students to achieve academically and to develop and apply acceptable behaviour and social skills in the classroom, school and community.  Here is a link providing more information.

This program assists students with mild cognitive disabilities and severe behavioural challenges. Here is a link providing more information.

Most schools offer regular programming, but no two schools are quite the same. Regular programming is based on curriculum determined by Alberta Education, but a school’s focus, optional courses and activities will vary depending on how it is organized to meet student needs.  Besides the regular core subjects (mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, and physical education), Rosslyn offers the following complementary subjects ("options"):

• Instrumental Music ("Band")
• Guitar Techniques
• Computer Studies
• French
• Mandarin
• CTF: Sports Performance / Healthy Living
• Food Studies
• Outdoor/Environmental Education
• Construction
• Art
• Drama
• CTF: Innovation and Design
• Robotics
