Information for Parents and Students:
The Guelph Young Parent Program is offered by College Heights Secondary School in collaboration with community organizations. Our program provides academic support for pregnant teens and teen parents. Students will not only earn credits towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma, but also develop an understanding of a healthy family life, expand their parenting and life skills, strengthen their sense of self worth, and create a community of learning with other young moms. Our aim for the program is to assist young parents or expecting parents to continue to be engaged in a school program while acknowledging and supporting their very important role in raising children.
