Programs for Students in Crisis

Therapeutic Boarding Schools

Therapeutic Boarding schools (also known as Emotional Growth schools) are for students who are not successfully functioning in a traditional environment. These schools are fully accredited and have year-round rolling admissions. The curriculum is balanced between the academic and the emotional growth of the child. The adolescent is provided with individual and group counseling in a positive supportive environment. The schools are small with enrollment generally between 20-160 students, so the child is not just a number. The duration of the school can run anywhere between 12-30 months depending upon the child’s growth. While the severity of the adolescent’s behavior may be a barrier to admission, a positive program can be found for a range of academic proficiencies.
