Philosophy

The Charlton School exists so that young women can be helped to make  critical life choices  more successfully and ultimately to become successful and productive members of our communities.  Students are helped to change their lives through involvement in a well-defined and supportive environment.  Caring adults guide, counsel, teach and support the students as they improve their ability to make successful life decisions.  The students earn increasing amounts of privileges and responsibilities as they demonstrate and experience the ability to make successful choices. 

The ultimate goal of The Charlton School is to provide young women with social,     educational, therapeutic and recreational opportunities designed to enhance their social and academic skill levels and self-esteem.  Students are helped to learn and to experience successful methods of resolving life's problems. It is also a part of the mission of Charlton to help young women and their families to enhance their ability to communicate and to develop more effective methods of solving family problems.  We believe that caring, communication, support and learning are the keys to recovery and healing.  We teach, model and encourage responsibility,  relationships, education, self-respect and responsibility in the lives of our students.  This learning process is designed to help prepare them for a return to their communities and for successful participation in adult life.
