The school has been purchased by a private owner and is in the process of transitioning into an Art Institute featuring everything from dance to music, and of course many different facets of artwork production.

Paskin House News       

  Kylie loved her one-week Disney Cruise to the Caribbean with stops at The Grand Cayman Islands and Disney's own island Castaway Cay.  She loved every single day and all the activities which included the Pirate Party and fireworks, swimming 
in the beautiful blue water in the Caribbean, and shopping.  Some of her favourite memories were Tracy's broken luggage, seeing all the characters especially Mickey and Minnie, and trying escargot for the first time and loving it!  Kylie loved the seafood at every meal and wondered why we can't eat like this in the group home.  Kylie has a 3-year plan for her next holiday; a girls only Disney cruise to the Panama Canal.
