Inclusive Minds Program
About this Program
The Inclusive Minds Program, an extension of ACS’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment, extends our philosophy of inclusivity beyond our community. This initiative not only provides consulting services to help other educational organizations develop or enhance their own inclusive practices but also offers masterclasses tailored to the three key stakeholders—caregivers, shadow teachers, and classroom teachers. By ensuring that all students, regardless of background or abilities, have access to diverse and equitable learning opportunities, Inclusive Minds supports the creation of environments where every student can thrive and embrace their individuality.
