Education Program: On Site School, Grades 7 – 12
The
Y.E.S. House Education Program is fully approved by the Wyoming Department
of Education. We began our education services in response to students who
need a highly structured, individualized and supportive educational
setting. We serve junior and senior high students who have been placed by
the court in our treatment program. Through our Memorandum of
Agreement with the Campbell County School District, we also provide
services to students who are recommended by the school district to our
program. While we serve elementary, junior and senior high students
who have been placed by the court in our treatment
programs, we also accept students who are recommended by the school
district. Referred students often are experiencing behavioral and/or
academic problems that prevent them from succeeding in larger, more
traditional settings.

Students
in our program receive specialized assistance to meet their educational
needs. Classes and curriculum are coordinated for each student with
his/her school of origin. Education plans are reviewed and/or developed
to maximize success for each individual student.
The student education program includes Math, English, Social Studies, Science,
Physical Education, Life Skills, Arts and Humanities.

Our
life skills course focuses on helping students develop skills in areas
that will help them become productive citizens of society. Topics include
problem solving skills, setting personal goals, nutrition, budgeting,
etc. Students also participate in special activities including holiday
celebrations and an arts festival.

Daily Schedule
Classes
are conducted Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with
lunch provided by the Y.E.S. House. All students are required to stay on
the grounds during lunch break. Class times may be adapted to individual
student needs.

Summer Program
Our
education program also offers a summer program. Students are provided the
opportunity to obtain course credit in subjects in which they may be
behind. Studies are focused on providing reinforcement for students in
areas where they might be deficient. Other student activities are
centered on community service projects.
