"Applewood Academy is a therapeutic boarding school for students requiring individualized academic, clinical, and behaviour-management solutions. We are experienced in special education, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and child/adolescent management. We maintain academic and residential placements by establishing therapeutic relationships; applying cognitive-behavioural management; implementing individualized learning programs; and utilizing continuous clinical and academic support. Academic: Sept-Jun; Summer: Jul-Aug."
"Applewood Academy stands alone among schools, beginning with our clinical orientation. While other schools have special education departments, Applewood starts with a clinical program used to shape personalized educational and residential programming. This results in more comprehensive clinical plans for each student and a much greater likelihood of success in delivering individualized care and personal growth. Applewood elementary and secondary grades follow the Ontario curriculum."
"Families choose Applewood Academy because of the close relationships we establish with the family and the student. We approach education from a clinical perspective, which means that we can quickly understand and respond to the different challenges of each student. We “get” each and every unique situation. Families quickly gain confidence that we can craft and implement a plan—from accommodation, to education, to social/recreational activities—that is going to work. And it does."
"What families find surprising about Applewood Academy is the quality of care. Our materials speak to the level of care that we provide, but experiencing our care first hand is typically a revelation for families. Care for Applewood students doesn’t end after the academic day is done, nor Friday afternoon. From individualized learning plans, to the most suitable accommodation option, to after-school activities that are both fun and build towards a normalized life; care is what we are all about."
"We can’t overstate the significance of Applewood Academy’s clinical orientation. Many of our families arrive overloaded with diagnoses and reports, whether academic, behavioural or medical. Our ability to make sense of all this information and to map out a clinical program that pulls in the education component is without parallel. Our follow-through with families is just as good. Applewood is never closed during the school year; we are always here to communicate and optimize."
"• Therapeutically-driven orientation across boarding, education, and community planning.
• Targeted, prioritized, individualized support.
• A comprehensive team joining the family in wrapping the student in 24-hour per day, 7-day per week care throughout the school year.
• 1:5 staff to student ratio.
• Local, national, and international therapeutic opportunities.
• Supportive boarding experience starting at age 8.
• Safe, calm, small rural city environment."
