Many families contact Glenwood
because they are searching for a safe, structured, supervised
and disciplined environment where their children can develop
the self-esteem, values and social skills crucial for success
in life. The cornerstone of Glenwood School is our Residential
Program. Children live in residence halls called “cottages”
with 10 to 12 other children and houseparents, who serve as
role models and are responsible for all aspects of students’
residential lives. Students live on campus Sunday through
Friday, share meals in the dining hall and return home on
weekends and holidays. Since Glenwood is a 12-month program,
during summer vacations many students stay on campus and participate
in a variety of educational and recreational programs, or
attend our camp in northern Wisconsin.
Families play a vital role in the child’s life and both
campuses strive to develop strong partnerships with families
by offering support, guidance and education, not only for
the students but for other family members as well.
Recreation, tutoring, counseling, student employment, woodworking
and community service are among the activities that occur
daily in the Residential Program. Each component of the program
strives to reflect Glenwood’s mission to serve children
from lower income, single parent families and to provide them
with opportunities to grow and succeed.
