Each subject is organized into units, which are also organized into lessons. VTA structures the lessons by using the 4-fase Methodology ©

This way of structuring is the general rule which must be followed by all of our VTA students. These are the following requirements for them:

• They do not have any clinical diagnosis that prevents their correct progress.
• They have studied in a compatible way to their age in previous years.
• They have an average equal to or above 5.0 (Chilean scale or analogous in anotherSpanish-speaking country).

With that being said, VTA is always open to making the appropriate adjustments to best serve the individuality of each of our students. That is why we have three different models that can satisfactorily address three types of special students: students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), high-ability students and students who are dedicated to some special extra-curricular activity.

Special Educational Needs:

To qualify within this category, students must have:

• Some clinical diagnosis that accredits SEN and that implies the requirement of some adaptation in the didactics and in evaluations. The SENs that are addressed are subject to the appreciation of the professionals in the area, it will be evaluated if the child’s requirement
  can be addressed by the VTA system.
• An average less than or equal to 4.9 (Chilean scale or analogous in another Spanish-speaking country) in previous years. For these cases, diagnostic tests are very important, as they will allow tutors to take the appropriate measures in time.
• High percentage of absenteeism as a result of crises that have been experienced in previous schools.

If this is the case, adjustments will be made according to the particular circumstances. These will be done thoughtfully as the students move forward, until they reach the expected result. The adjustments will deal with the didactics and/or the evaluation modalities.

High-ability students:

To qualify within this category, students must have:

• Some clinical diagnosis that justifies the high capacities. confirmed by psychological, neurological or related tests. After getting these results, the student will be allowed to move to the following level.

In addition to having to take all the core subjects, these students will have the Advanced English subject.

The validation achieved by the student will be subject to the provisions of the Ministries of Education of each country.

Extracurricular activities students:

To qualify within this category:

• Students must be dedicated to some extracurricular activity that is related to sport, music, theatre or other activity.
• The activity that they carry on prevents them from following the standard academic development.

If this is the case, adjustments will be made according to the particular circumstances. These will be done thoughtfully as the students move forward, until they reach the expected result. The adjustments will deal with the didactics and/or the evaluation modalities.
