Our Perspective on Elevate Learning Centre

Elevate Learning Centre provides an opportunity for students with unique needs to thrive in a supportive environment. With programming designed specifically for diverse learners, students receive small group instruction, daily social and emotional learning, and structured literacy. Elevate believes all students can thrive when supported in the right way. Its programming focuses on literacy, numeracy, executive functioning, and socio-emotional skills, enabling students to learn strategies to self-regulate independently. A high educator-to-student ratio means students receive the support they need to thrive and build their academic and social confidence.
