Faculty
Our small classes are led by an energetic team of teachers, specially trained to work with students confronted with learning challenges. The small class size allows for a great deal of personal attention and interaction with the teachers. The teachers have specialized training in teaching students with learning differences.
Charles Armstrong School Leadership Team
The Faculty Leadership Team is comprised of ‘master’ teachers who have the experience and expertise to inform the planning and the goals for the school and our students. They act as the voice of the faculty in communicating with both the faculty and the administration.
