The mother brought a motion for a temporary order requiring the child to attend Springfield Preparatory and Nursery School commencing September 2012.
The child, age 10, had been diagnosed with a mild learning disability and mild ADHD and was struggling academically in a French immersion program at his current public school despite receiving an Individual Education Plan and private tutoring.
The father opposed the motion, proposing an alternative public school with specialized resources.
The court granted the mother's motion, finding that the private school with smaller class sizes and a supportive teaching approach would better meet the child's educational and emotional needs, particularly given the public school system's historical inability to address the child's needs.
