Pointe-a-Pierre Government Special School is aligned to the operations of the primary school system. Therefore we utilize the primary school curriculum of Trinidad and Tobago, which is adapted to the needs of each individual student.

Some adaptations include;

• accommodations: augmenting the methods of instruction and

• modifications to the curriculum, to cater to our students’ special needs.

The application of curriculum objectives are selected based on the requirements of the student. The main purpose of this approach is to help students acquire the necessary skill that they require for independent living.

Our adapted curriculum also involves teaching social skills, speech and language development and functional living skills. Students with visual impairment have mobility training and use special computer programmes that allow them to navigate the digital world. Above all, we strive to make all learning fun and connect in-school learning to out-of-school activities and real life situations.

Our curriculum encompasses the following categories;

(a) Functional Academics

(b) Social and Functional Living Skills

(c) SEA preparation

(d) Technical Vocational Skills
