Special Education

The Special Education Department at Centre Dufferin is focused on assisting students who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) to reach their full academic and personal potential while in high school. Students will learn to advocate for their individual needs and develop their independence.

Please contact Head of Special Education, Jannah Copeland, at 519-925-3834 ext. 260 if you have any questions about students with an IEP and/or Life Skills programming.
