About Lonsdale Treatment Centre
School Description
Lonsdale Academy is a private school within Lonsdale Treatment Centre, offering a supportive and responsive academic program tailored to the unique needs of youth in both short-term and long-term treatment
Long-Term Students
For students in long-term treatment, the school provides a comprehensive academic program that supports progress toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Programming is individualized based on student needs and strengths, with a focus on academics, skill development, and pathways planning. We are committed to supporting these learners up to the age of 18
Short-Term Students
For students in short-term treatment, we collaborate directly with their home schools to maintain alignment with existing course expectations and academic goals. This partnership ensures that students remain connected to their original academic pathways and can reintegrate smoothly upon discharge
In addition to academic instruction, we work with community partners to offer experiential and hands-on learning opportunities that enrich the curriculum and build real-world skills. This holistic approach reflects the therapeutic environment of the Centre and prioritizes student well-being, personal growth, and future success.
The school will be staffed by certified teachers and education professionals who are experienced in supporting students with mental health and wellness needs. Our programming reflects Ministry of Education curriculum standards, while being adaptable, trauma-informed, and student-centered
Student Achievement Statement
At our school, achievement is defined by personal growth, resilience, and progress toward each student’s unique potential. We embrace a growth mindset, recognizing that all students can learn and succeed when provided with the right supports, encouragement, and opportunities. Our educators meet students where they are - academically, emotionally, and socially - and tailor instruction to reflect their individual strengths and needs. In a safe, trauma-informed environment, we focus on helping students build confidence, develop skills, and celebrate progress at every stage. Success is measured not only by credits earned, but by the development of self-efficacy, engagement, and readiness for the future
