Northland High School serves a
large general population of students as well as high school level
students in the Columbus Hearing Impaired Program. Total communication is
the mode of teaching all students with special emphasis on oral/aural skills.
Self contained classrooms are available to students who are deaf or
hard-of-hearing in grades 9-12. Students have the opportunity to participate
with hearing peers in all aspects of the school experience that are
appropriate.
Students served by CHIP have an
Individualized Education Plan based upon current levels of performance. When
mainstreaming into the general population is called for, educational
interpreters are available for sign language support. CHIP students at
Northland also have the choice to attend a wide variety of career training
programs from the Columbus Public Schools' career centers.
CHIP students and staff benefit
from a cooperative and supportive relationship with Northland staff and
students.
