Education and Community Partnership Program

Aptus has partnered since 1981 with the Toronto District School Board, in offering supported learning, within the Education and Community Partnership Program (ECPP), also known as Section 23 programs. In 2008, Aptus opened a school in York Region, in partnership with the York Region District School Board.   

Children perceived as hard to serve within the school boards’ mainstream or high-needs classrooms are referred to Aptus for specialized support and skill building.  The schools support 63 students from ages 4 to 21. 

Throughout the summer months, students enjoy more of a camp-style experience that enables their continued growth and development while enabling more time outdoors for activities, outings and summer fun.
