Our campus residents' ages range from 5 to 18 and are enrolled in local public schools from kindergarten through high school or junior college. A highly trained educator, who is a staff member, evaulates each incoming resident to make the proper placement in school. Tutoring is available to help each student. Cottage study time is a regular part of each school day. Opportunities are available for residents who qualify for higher education to attend Florida colleges and universities.
Many residents recieve advanced training in vocational skills in place of formal higher education.
Educational financial support is most needed for high school tutoring and vocational training. Strong efforts are being made to endow the campus educational program. In addition to the regular school programs the residents have many opportunities on campus. Trained staff persons supervise recreation activities. An essential part of the recreation program is our Certified Ropes Course which helps youth to develop self-esteem, improve self confidence and learn to trust themselves, their cottage mates and adults.
