Therapeutic boarding school

A therapeutic boarding school is a residential educational institution that combines academic instruction with therapeutic services for adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. These schools emerged in North America in the late 1960s and are often associated with the broader troubled teen industry.

Therapeutic boarding schools typically operate year-round and provide structured environments that include counseling, behavioral interventions, and academic coursework. Some programs have been the subject of public scrutiny and academic criticism regarding disciplinary practices, oversight, and student treatment.
