The hallways of the Longueuil school, just south of Montreal, came back to life last week with the arrival of 55 students between the ages of four and 21.
Funded by Quebec’s Education Department, Jacques-Ouellette is the only French-language school in the province specializing in students with visual impairments.
“Their vision has to be at a certain level to be admitted to our school,” principal Geneviève Blondin said after the start of the school year.
While the school is part of the Marie-Victorin school service centre in the Longueuil area, it also welcomes children from about 10 other school service centres to meet their specialized needs.
“The students follow the Quebec curriculum, but obviously, they do it at their own pace,” teacher Virginie Roy said.
Adaptation is central to the work of the school’s roughly 50 full-time employees and about 10 other staff members.
