Program Description

Students at Youth Care participate in a level system. The students are rewarded points hourly. Points are given for proper school performance, appropriate social interactions, a good attitude, and compliance with rules. The immediate reinforcement helps students correct poor behaviors. When sufficient points are earned, students will progress and receive privileges as listed below. Parents will receive an update weekly which will include information about their child's current level, school performance, therapy progress, as well as faculty comments.

The academic program at Youth Care is accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and is designed to meet students’ individual needs. Our certified teachers are trained to work with gifted students, students with learning difficulties, and students with behavioral difficulties. Our academic program has one main goal – to prepare our students to be successful in future learning whether it is in a private, public, or post-high school setting.

Young people at Youth Care work with an experienced team of professionals. The team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, chemical addiction counselors, a recreation therapist, professional counselors, certified secondary education teachers, certified special education teachers, and nurses.
