In "Blueprint for Building a Better Nova Scotia,” the government of Nova Scotia outlined the development of a new "tuition support program for special needs students with IPPs [Individualized Program Plans].”
This process has been developed to provide eligible students with the opportunity to attend a designated special education private school.
The intention of this support is to provide options for students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Learning Disabilities (LD) to access education outside the framework of the public school system.
Please Note:
On April 14, 2010 the Minister's Response to the 2009 Review of the Tuition Support Program was released and resulting amendments to the regulations are being drafted and will be posted on this website shortly. In the meantime, the intent of the Minister's Response will govern our review of applications and, when necessary, the appeal of review decisions.
