QUantum Overview
Covering Belleville &
Quinte West

Quantum is a long-term, multi-component intervention program aiming to increase high school graduation rates in students facing various challenges as they enter high school.
The program provides wrap-around care for the duration of the student's high school career. This unique program aims to eliminate barriers to success by providing educational, developmental, community opportunities coupled with a sustained relationship with a caring adult.
The Quantum Program is an evidence-based evaluated program that has had a 70% success rate of High School Graduation, over a 4-year term.
Students who are at risk of not completing high school are identified by school administration; Children’s Aid Society, Children’s Mental Health, police and community agencies and are referred to Quantum. Each year a new incoming group of grade nines are added to the Quantum rotation, remaining in the program throughout their education career.
