Online Registration

Now is the perfect time to register your child for our Winter 2010 Programs!
 
With classes starting in January, we offer programs in:
 

 

Academic Support Programs

 We offer specific academic support programs to meet the needs of students experiencing learning difficulties.

 

Computer Skills Program

Program is offered three times per year (Fall, Winter and Spring).
The objective of the program is to teach touch-typing skills on a computer to students who are experiencing written skill problems. Many students who have difficulty writing can be taught to touch type 10-30 words per minute in just 10 or 12 weeks of instruction.

 

Positive Conflict Resolution

Children who have been diagnosed with LD and/or ADHD may experience difficulty with modulating their emotions and therefore present with behavioural problems at school or at home.   We are offering this Anger Management group to children ages 8-12 that will focus on helping these children deal with their emotions and gain some control over their anger.  

 

Social Skills

Our 10-week program is offered three times per year (Fall, Winter, Spring) and assists in the development and reinforcement of positive social skills and appropriate social behaviour. Offered in a supportive environment which encourages friendship, positive emotional behaviour and presents positive conflict resolution techniques. 

 

Stay In School Because It's Your Life

This program aspires to help students who are at-risk of dropping out of high school complete their OSSD requirements. The program is designed to help students with learning disabilities to stay in school and go on to college or university or successfully gain meaningful employment upon graduation.
