Program Description : Villa Maria School partners with families to promote success for children with emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. We offer comprehensive, 12 month day and residential programs for children ages 3-14. The school is designed to offer a therapeutic learning environment with a low student to teacher ratio and an on-site team of clinicians to support students who have experienced trauma. Each student receives individualized instruction at their developmental level in all core academic areas in addition to art, music therapy, health, physical education, and our therapeutic gardening program. Our dedicated special educators, teaching assistants, and clinicians work collaboratively to meet each child's unique needs and support them through their emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. Our staff receive intensive training in trauma-informed care and work to identify the underlying causes of challenging behavior, teach new skills, and prepare our students for a less restrictive educational environment. We offer a wide range of clinical support services, including psychiatric services, as part of the school program. Parents and families are key members of the treatment team and are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of the school program. There are many educational and recreational activities planned specifically for parents and families throughout the school year. The St. Vincent's Villa Residential Treatment Center is located on the same campus.
Related Services : Psychiatry, therapy (individual, group and family, occupational, and speech/language); parent counseling and support groups, case management, and linkage to in-home intervention services; career development education, physical education, art, music, health and environmental science/therapeutic gardening program.
