About Artemis Place
 
Artemis Place is an integrated counselling and educational program which provides a unique alternative to traditional school for at-risk girls in our community who are overlooked by existing programs.
 
Artemis Place provides a sanctuary where girls are able to work on completing their high school while learning critical life skills in conflict resolution, and in building self esteem and successful relationships.
 
Artemis Options Society has successfully supported the most at-risk girls in our community as they transform their lives. We know that every girl is filled with power, and we are in the unique business of tapping into that potential.
 
 
The Artemis Philosophy
Our Alumni chose the name Artemis Place to represent the empowering nature of our program.  Artemis, the protectress of young women, is a powerful figure in Greek Mythology.  She was deeply connected to her own power and unwilling to let anyone take it away from her. For nearly 40 years, girls have credited our programs, staff and philosophy with supporting their development into strong, independent, successful women.
 
 
We believe in the power of girls.  We know girls can do amazing things when they feel safe, supported and able to learn in their own ways.
