Learner Profile:

The T.E.A.M. program is an academic program specially designed for pregnant and parenting teens that allows young women to complete OSSD requirements while care is provided for their young children.  It enables them to earn credits toward their diploma, to develop an understanding of healthy family life, and become aware of the role of the parent in healthy family relationships. It also provides an opportunity to socialize and learn with other young moms.
