Application, Screening & Disclosures

At SSB, we are committed to fostering access and inclusion while maintaining a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for all participants. We partner with families through open, collaborative communication to remove barriers wherever possible, to ensure that each student can engage, meaningfully, within our global programs.

Applications are reviewed holistically with the Essential Eligibility Criteria in mind. We may request additional information or input from medical professionals to better understand if and how we can provide appropriate support to facilitate safe accommodations and participation. To support this process, completion of our Plans of Action by the participant and their treatment team may be required.

We invite early and transparent dialogue about health, well-being, or support needs so we can explore reasonable accommodations and set shared expectations for success.Following an individualized review and interactive process, if it is determined that a student’s needs cannot be safely or reasonably accommodated without fundamentally altering the program or compromising safety, SSB will communicate that participation cannot proceed, with transparency and respect.
