Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning recognizes that in Ontario, approximately 18% of children aged 6 to 15 years of age have a psychiatric disorder. These children's emotional and academic needs, along with their support requirements are taxing the resources of the public education system and the safe school policies have led to a disproportionate number of suspensions and expulsions for these children.
With such issues in mind, Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning was born. A unique educational alternative, Applewood Academy for Progressive Learning is a treatment oriented, academic program to help meet the needs of these students and their families. The program offers significant clinical support to address treatment needs related to emotional, behavioural and educational difficulties.
