 About Us

The Charlton School is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit, residential treatment center and special education facility for troubled adolescent girls.  The governing body is a voluntary Board of Trustees drawn from members of the community. We are licensed and regulated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, New York State  Education Department and New York State Department of Health.  Charlton is accredited by the Council on Accreditation and is a member of the Council of Family and Child Care Agencies, www.cofcca.org .

The Charlton School is a Residential Treatment Center and high school for troubled adolescent females, ages 13-18.  The girls live and go to school at Charlton for an average of 1 year while they and their families work on a wide range of social, emotional, family and academic concerns.

Financing of The Charlton School is accomplished by receipt of fees for services through state contracts as well as by private donations.

Originally established in 1895 as a “school for wayward and homeless boys” Charlton has made the transition over time to the multi-dimensional treatment and educational center that it is today.
