Philosophy

Provo Canyon School believes that the power for an individual to change lies in the therapeutic relationship, the opportunity to experience new options, and an environment that encourages learning as a resource for personal success. That change can be sustained through the support and active involvement of the child’s family (traditional or otherwise) and the support of others that are identified stakeholders in the child’s success. The core values of the therapeutic relationship include compassion, nurturing, unconditional acceptance and support in a positive, non-punitive environment. At Provo Canyon School, we believe that among the most important factors in treatment is creating an environment of positive social, relationship-based experience by adult and student peers. In our interactions with our students, the goal is to instill a sense of value and worth to each individual through listening with an open mind, accepting them for where they are now, and acknowledging their positive achievements and individual strengths. We believe that through the adoption of these core values, the individual will be empowered to attain their maximum growth and potential.

Provo Canyon School individualizes services based on the specific needs of a particular student. However, our program and campus are configured to support the needs of three distinct student populations based on age and gender. The following is a description of the three student populations we service: adolescent boys and girls (High School), and latency-age boys and girls (Middle School). Contact us today to see why we’re one of the best.
