[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks. So how do private schools handle students with special needs? Do they have separate classes and separate special-ed teachers?

What kinds of extra curriculars? As in more math clubs and things like? [/quote]

It depends on the school and what the special need is.  Private schools with a more rigorous academic expectations are just not going to admit kids that aren’t able to keep up.  Likewise, they are unlikely to admit kids with severe behavioral problems.  If your child has an IEP and the school can’t/doesn’t want to make those specific accommodations, they will just tell you  it isn’t a good fit.  Sometimes parents provide their own 1:1 aide but again it depends on what the issues are.

Some private schools do have specific programs for learning disabilities though [/quote]

Yep. My kids started attending a private prep school in middle school. No children with significant behavior issues or learning needs are admitted there and the classes are very rigorous.

But I purposely made my kids to go to public school for the elementary years so that they could develop empathy and understanding of people with special needs. You can really only do that by being in a classroom with kids with learning disabilities, autism, intellectual disabilities, etc.[/quote]
