Where do the children live during the week?
Children live in on-campus residence halls (we call them “cottages”) with 10-12 other children and houseparents who provide the nurturing, structure and discipline necessary to help the students achieve their potential. Most of our houseparents are married couples, often with children and sometimes pets of their own, creating a family environment. They live with their families in an apartment within the cottage in order to model a typical family, teach social skills, assist with homework, give advice and meet the children’s needs outside of the school day. Students share dorm rooms with at least one roommate and share a bathroom with other cottage mates. All students eat meals together in the dining hall.
