About Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Virginia
Virginia Therapeutic Boarding Schools
Therapeutic and alternative boarding schools must be licensed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS). The DBHDS is responsible for licensing residential facilities that house adolescents on site and the state provides new applicant training DVD.
Licensing and accreditation is optional for private schools in Virginia and teacher certification is not a state requirement. Each school can set its own curriculum without oversight by the state board of education. Proof of immunization is required for students at private schools. If a private school is accredited, all employees must pass a criminal background check, however, non-accredited schools are not required to conduct background checks.

PLEASE NOTICE...
Several prominent social media activists who believe that teenagers should be allowed to do and act in whatever way they wish are seeking to have all therapeutic programs for youth shut down. To that end, they encourage their willing followers to write fake negative reviews about such programs. The goal is to destabilize and force program closures nationwide. Remember this as you read online reviews, since many today are fake and the program can do nothing about them. Feel free to call us for more information about any program.
