The opportunity to reach their potential in a safe and caring environment.
Janus Academy Society is a charitable organization that operates an independent school for children and youth with autism from grades 1 to 12, and a summer camp program for students and community youth on the Autism spectrum.
With the support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and parents, Janus Academy has been able to address a critical service gap in education for this diverse population and their families for over 26 years. These families struggle with the challenge of obtaining essential support for their children, and despite government funding and tuition fees covering 84% of the costs associated with delivering our specialized education model, there remains a crucial 16% funding gap.
"Our son is amazing and complex. Public school was a disaster with daily meltdowns and no learning. Homeschooling worked for 3 years but he needed the structure and social connection of school. When we applied to Janus Academy, they had one spot left. Our son walked away from the tour saying, “I want to go here. It has everything I need.” After hundreds of school pick-ups where he screamed in distress, he now greets us with hugs and chats on the drive home. He is making friends. He is learning. He is loved and safe. He is happy. Janus Academy has changed our son’s life and made life better for our whole family. I can’t describe how grateful we are for this school and for the talented, wonderful humans who work here."
