4worldlovers: Three Year Educational Plan — UP’s educational programs are designated by Alberta Education as a Level Two accredited funded private school authority. Students who attend our schools may come to us from our group homes, treatment homes, or tuition agreements.

Many students have been diagnosed with severe emotional or behavioural disorders, and struggle to find success in a community school setting. They often come to our school functioning significantly below grade level due to factors such as a mental health diagnosis; organic brain dysfunction; FASD; Autism; Tourette syndrome; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; severe behavioural challenges as a result of Oppositional Defiant Disorder; Conduct Disorder; abuse; or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We are able to provide small classrooms with a 3:1 student to staff ratio where students get the structure and supports to find success in school.

We offer a highly-structured and supportive special education program that includes supervision throughout the day. Individual program plans are developed for all students in consultation with the treatment team. We provide students the opportunity to acquire skills needed for re-entry into community schools, and to be positive and productive contributors to society.

In addition to the core curriculum subjects, we offer an athletic program and an activity program.

We acknowledge and embrace our commitment to our First Nations, Metis and Inuit educational needs.

In ongoing consultation and collaboration with the Indigenous Engagement Resources at Unlimited Potential Community Services, we honour best practices on teaching a culturally respected and appropriate Indigenous curriculum.

“As new immigrants to Ontario, learning that our happy and energetic son, Jonah, has ASD was a heavy weight that came down upon us. We were still adjusting to our new lives in this new land, and learning of his diagnosis, made us feel helpless and uncertain of our family’s future. But instead of feeling sorry for ourselves and complaining on how great odds stack against us are, we seek out help from those in the autism community. The community embraced us with unwavering support, love, and understanding. We feel so welcome it’s as if we were always a part of this growing community.


2 years and 3500 kilometers later, our autism journey took us to Children’s Autism Services of Edmonton (CASE). With his new CASE community, we can see that Jonah is happier and more engaged. He enjoys his time in school and we’re learning a lot from his therapists and consultants. We know our journey is long and there will be new challenges ahead. We also know that whatever challenges await us, there will always be help available….”
