Venture Academy is the name for what has emerged to be an umbrella structure that provides a variety of helpful and very effective support services for troubled teens in Canada. As the organization evolved, this has included from time to time, but is not limited to assessment, treatment, private school, homestay and other supportive treatment programs for adolescents. Teens and families served often include troubled teens in Canada who may benefit from extra support in the classroom, need a psycho-educational assessment and who may benefit from clinically comprehensive residential treatment services.
Venture Academy consists of several small companies that mostly work hand-in-hand each performing specific functions in various jurisdictions across Canada. These companies have encompassed private schools, accredited treatment programs and licensed residential care facilities where applicable.
The various staff work cooperatively together as a team to navigate the complex regulatory environment combining the best of the clinical and educational worlds to provide unparalleled specialized and therapeutic services for adolescents in Canada.
