Edelweiss Private Academy

The purpose of the program is to support children returning to school in the fall. The goal is to make the first weeks back to school more successful. The program will focus on meeting new classmates, participating in a group, completing independent work and becoming familiar with classroom routines. Some academics will be taught as well. Please note that this program is only offered during the last two weeks the summer camp.

These weeks are highly recommended for children registered for Edelweiss Private Academy in the fall. A clinical psychologist and senior supervision are available upon parent request for an additional fee. This period also provides time to develop Behavioural Support Plans (if needed for the classroom in the fall).
