Our thirteen month minimum program consists of classroom work, personal and group counseling, educational and vocational training assistance, and personal attention by the staff in a structured, nurturing environment.

Stage 1 The first three months is the induction stage. The student must complete certain curriculum requirements, show substantial improvement in attitude and demonstrate a willingness to change his negative behavior before progressing to the next level.

Stage 2 The goals during the next three months are to continue the required curriculum work and consistently be self-disciplined, trustworthy, honest, cooperative and responsible. The student gains more privileges and responsibilities during this stage.

Stage 3 During this stage, the student must demonstrate maturity, good judgment, and consistent positive attitudes and relationships both within and outside the program. He also participates in skills/career assessment classes and obtains the equivalent of a high school diploma. (G.E.D. assessment.)

Stage 4 In the final stage, the student is fully responsible for all assigned class and household work and may attend outside personal activities (job, schooling). He must make future plans for employment and/or continued education or training, a good home environment and church of his faith. Upon completion of Phase IV, the student is eligible for graduation.
