The Whitney Academy s program is designed to provide quality treatment and education to meet this need. Students at Whitney are treated and taught as individuals with special consideration and respect for their uniqueness and individual differences. They learn skills that give them an opportunity to grow and enable them to become more fully functioning members of society
The Whitney Academy’s purpose is twofold:
- The provision of quality educational, residential and clinical services to its students
- The preparation of students for re-entry to and success in their communities of origin or new communities,
utilizing humanistic treatment and environments that maximize healthy development.
“A student’s lack of progress is not viewed as student failure,
but rather as a failure of the treatment process.”
