Thank you for your interest in Edelweiss Private Academy! Once you have filled out and submitted the Application online, here are the next steps you can expect:

​

​

• TIPES Intake Coordinator will then contact you regarding your baseline assessment.

 * SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION CLOSED FOR 2022 *

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 focuses 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 of the summer camp.​

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