Each ward develops a personal life plan to deal with his substance abuse problem with the primary focus on the ward's transition back into the community. A clinical assessment program was organized to provide substance abuse screening, consultation to treatment teams and professional assistance to program development. Wards also participate in a mandatory daily physical fitness program and mandatory drug testing to assist in maintaining a drug-free environment. The curriculum consists of the basic courses that are required for high school graduation in the State of California and also offers elective courses in the areas of survival education, employability skills, a variety of vocational education programs, computer lab, and career awareness. The Educational Program has the services of a Resource Specialist, School Psychologist, Speech Therapist, special day classes, English Language development and basic skills enhancement.
Education technology includes computer assisted instruction in most classes.
