Residential Program
From Monday morning until Friday afternoon, many students make their home in our residential program. Students come from near and far to share in this educational and social experience. A strong focus is placed on improving each individual student's academic performance and overall development. Participation of family members in the residential experience is encouraged.
Cooperative Program
Ongoing communication between parents, educational, and residential staff regarding student progress is a key component of dorm living. The residential program is staffed with caring professional personnel trained in sign language, CPR, strategies for crisis intervention and prevention, as well as current behavior management techniques.
Room Accommodations
Students are placed in spacious dormitory rooms. Each area has a comfortable lounge area as well.
Home Away From Home
Students from five to twenty-one years old are included in peer groups and a variety of activities according to age and gender. Together, staff and students create a homelike atmosphere. In addition to interscholastic sports and extensive after school programs, students can choose from a variety of leisure activities in well-equipped computer labs, exercise and recreation areas. In addition, tutors are available to assist students as needed. Involvement in community events highlights a busy schedule of academics and social interactions with peers.
Additional Support
The physical well being and safety needs of our students are always our first priority.
We are prepared with around the clock nursing and security staff. In addition, we have a skilled food service staff to prepare nutritionally balanced meals.
