They are accredited by the Council on Accreditation, approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.
Located in a shady residential neighborhood in Arlington, MA, just minutes from Boston and Cambridge, the campus provides a supportive, safe haven for girls who have been making choices that interfere with their family life, academic progress, and social development. The Merck Center, a private program for girls from across the country, is located just outside the main campus.
