Take a Virtual Tour of Our Pheasant Ridge Campus
Learn more about our Pheasant Ridge Campus by taking a virtual tour. We’re an accredited school approved by the Illinois State Board. Our small class sizes, therapy offerings and special education staff work together to help students with individual education plans (IEPs) learn and thrive.
Learning That Goes Beyond Books
Part of what makes our school unique is our commitment to teaching students about effective emotional regulation and healthy behaviors. Because everyone deals with behavioral health issues differently, we offer a variety of therapy options to help students manage their emotions in a safe environment.
Individual and group therapy sessions are offered where students can communicate their true feelings through art, self-expression, music therapy, physical activity or even connecting with animals.
