The Schools and Programs that Teens In Crisis recommends provide innovative and effective help for students who are struggling in their home, school, or community. They teach values, integrity, honor, and respect for authority. These Schools and Programs are specifically designed to help teens replace inappropriate attitudes, behaviors, and habits with new, productive ones.
All of the Schools and Programs that Teens In Crisis recommends provide several key components:
Structured Environment:
Each School and Program provides an organized and structured environment where high standards exist. Inappropriate actions and choices are confronted, given consequences, and redirected. Appropriate actions and choices are reinforced and rewarded. The Programs and Schools offer tight supervision around the clock. Each student follows a vigorous daily schedule and a firm set of rules. A merit system is used requiring each student to earn status and privileges through a standard program using a level system, based on positive behavior. As students advance, each level offers additional privileges motivating the student to work harder. The Program or School becomes the testing ground to ascertain each student’s level of commitment toward making changes.

 

Seminars:
TASKS (Teen Accountability, Self-Esteem, and Keys to Success) A series of highly effective “educational seminars” specifically designed to teach character building. During these TASKS seminars, teens learn about key character building qualities such as: Accountability, honesty, integrity, trust, choices, responsibility, anger, and especially self-esteem. While the student is completing his or her series of seminars, the parents are invited to attend Parent Seminars and Parent Support Meetings held in many locations throughout the United States. The culmination of the TASKS seminars is when parents and students are invited to attend two effective Parent/Child Workshops. These are designed to assist each family in improving communications and strengthening relationships.

Progressive Academic Curriculum:
Curriculum is individualized and competency based, allowing students to work at their own pace, and maximize the learning process. Students are not held back by other teens in the class, lesson plans, teachers’ schedules, course offerings, or class availability. The students are tutored by a teacher and in some cases, it is possible to complete courses on an accelerated basis. Each student is assessed upon admission and then assisted in designing their specific course of study. The Academic Program is performance based; students only receive credits when it is demonstrated that the subject matter has been mastered. Junior High and High School courses are offered.

 

 

 

 
Personal Development Courses:
During the structured daily schedule, students participate in tightly-integrated Emotional Growth and Personal Development Courses. These courses effectively utilize resources such as: professional audio and video tapes, selective reading material, and daily progress review sessions. During these courses, students begin to learn what is and what isn’t working in their lives and how to make necessary changes.

Activities:
On and off campus activities provide a proper balance of recreation, exercise, learning and social opportunities. Initially, all activities are on grounds. Over a period of time, teens may earn the privilege of participating in off campus activities.
