True North Students
Our students range in age between 14 and 17 years and are accepted into the program year round, seven days per week. Our average length of stay is 7-8 weeks. Additional time is determined individually and is based on the needs of your family and the recommendations of your child’s course leader (therapist) and educational consultant or other consulting professional.
We recommend that our families work with an educational consultant. Their experience and specific knowledge of resources can help facilitate the right placement for your child or assist with their transition home. If you are not working with an educational consultant or would like to learn more about them, please contact us for more information.
True North strives to maintain a fair and competitive tuition and our staff can assist you in working with your insurance company or seeking an educational loan to help with program costs. If, after a thorough review of the application, it is determined that your child is not appropriate for True North our staff will direct you to other resources to find the services you need.
