What Happens After School?

  • The residential component is as carefully planned and supervised as our day program
    • Students reside in a duplex style house with a living room, kitchen, dining room, 2 shared restrooms and 4 shared bedrooms on each side
    • Female students reside on one side, male students on the other
    • Residential Staff are directly supervising students at all times, including an overnight staff who is awake all night and completes room checks every 30 minutes
