Residential Schools

Residential schools run the gamut from traditional

, college-preparatory boarding schools to military-style schools to troubled teen boarding schools to residential treatment centers. Each of these serves a need for the audience they cater to.

When students are removed from their home environment, they must learn how to live with, trust and respect their peers and teachers in a new environment. It provides small classes and heightened interaction between students and their teachers, and the unique residential environment promotes camaraderie between students as a result of their common experience.

It prepares students well for the college experience, as they have already learned to live away from home, and to live with and among their peers.

College-preparatory residential aim to prepare students for the academic rigors of college life. Some of these schools are single sex schools, while some are co-ed. These schools give students the knowledge, skills and challenging curriculum that will be looked at during the college admissions process.

Therapeutic combine the traditions and academics of regular boarding schools with intense therapeutic interventions to help troubled teenagers. These schools cater to students who are facing challenges such as behavioral or emotional problems, substance abuse or significant learning differences. The environment at a therapeutic residential school is a highly structured one, often located in a rural setting, and combines school, therapy, recreation, chores and free time. These schools can be highly specialized and can work with students with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety and depression.

Most residential schools operate on rolling admissions schedules, accepting students year-round as needed. Applicants will most likely undergo evaluation and testing to determine needs and an action plan, an in-depth interview process. The intake process should include interviews with both parents and teens and reports from teachers and professionals from the home environment.

Residential cater to the non-traditional student. Teens struggling with motivational and self-esteem issues often find success in a structured residential school environment. Students may come to a residential school with a record of academic failure.
