 Since 1971, the Provo Canyon School, North Orem, Utah State, has worked with over 5000 children who are living with behavioral, learning and emotional difficulties. Provo Canyon School is an accredited school as well as a JCAHO approved residential treatment center. Universal Health Services owns and operates the school as a subsidiary. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS) has endorsed the school. The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP) is also an associate of the school.
We have a 242-bed facility with two different campus sites for boys and girls. Provo is the location of the boy's campus; the girl's campus is situated at Orem. We provide services to students who are between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age (7th to 12th graders) with a variety of different clinical needs. The average length of stay for a Provo Canyon School student is 10 months, however this can vary considerably depending on the clinical issues of the student. At the completion of most students' time at Provo Canyon, students transition to a less structured environment where they can continue to build upon the success they have experienced at Provo Canyon.
Many of our graduates continue their educations in colleges and universities. We believe that students should leave Provo Canyon School with the social and academic skills necessary for them to assume responsible roles in society. Provo Canyon School has earned a reputation for succeeding with adolescents who have strong potential but have experienced limited success in their families, schools and communities. Many of our students have not done well in previous treatment settings. The continuum of care at Provo Canyon School includes individual, group, family and experiential therapy. A structured, therapeutic living environment and fully accredited academic program are provided. A drug and alcohol program serves the special needs of adolescents with substance abuse and addiction problems.

Our students are generally of average to well above average intelligence. Our fully accredited program and small class sizes are designed to meet each child’s individual needs and to facilitate the ability to work with learning differences. We offer comprehensive academic programs with over 140 different academic classes taught within an 8:1 ratio.
Early Adolescent Program: We offer a special program designed to meet the unique developmental needs of boys ages twelve to fourteen. A self-contained unit and program is provided for these early adolescents. Staffing ratios are higher, allowing these students to receive increased individual attention. Many of these boys are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. The program is designed to address accompanying emotional, behavioral and academic challenges these boys face.
