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.

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. |
