Benchmark Young Adult School |
A school for students in transition
Benchmark is a residential emotional growth school dedicated to
assisting troubled teens and young adults between the ages of 18 and 28
years of age. We help transform their negative behavior into a new
reality of healthy and productive living.
A school for success
With qualified and caring counselors, Benchmark utilizes a peer group,
community-based environment to teach the behavioral modification skills
required for our students to flourish in their education, work,
physical health, emotional growth and emancipation.
A school for independent living
As a voluntary and private school, Benchmark provides an optimal
setting that allows our students to achieve their independent living
goals. Students live on campus with their peers and resident
counselors, sharing their learning experiences through a structured
curriculum. Students should be prepared to spend no less than 12 months
at Benchmark. Some students will require 18-24 months, depending upon
their individual progress.
