WHAT WE DO
The G. F. Strong School Program is the focal point of the Adolescent and Young Adult Program (AYA Program) at G. F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre, as attending school is the "work of adolescence". The connection to an adolescent's home school is through the G. F. Strong School Program staff. The school staff are part of the G. F. Strong rehab teams and work collaboratively with all team members. The G. F. Strong School Program provides a supportive and socially familiar learning environment for adolescent and young adult clients.
