This is my first year at Ashbury and I already feel at home. Everyone is really welcoming and there are so many people to help and encourage you.
Student Support
Ashbury College has a multidisciplinary team of professionals who work together and are engaged in the community to guide our students in their personal growth, health, and wellness.
Members of the student support team act as a circle of care to capture the needs of the student. The members of this team focus on academic, social/emotional, and physical wellness.
Members of the team include our School Counsellor (MSW), Nurse (RN), Learning Strategists, Chapel and Life Skills Coordinator, and Director of Student Success and Wellness.
Learning Success
Ashbury College recognizes the diversity of student learning needs. In both Junior and Senior School, students are supported by their classroom teachers through differentiated approaches to instruction and assessment.
Our teachers regularly offer extra help to solidify knowledge and understanding of course content. In addition, our Learning Strategists work with teachers to meet the needs of all learners in their classrooms.
