Structured Therapeutic Program (STP) A structured therapeutic school program is a specialized educational setting designed to provide a highly organized and supportive environment for students with emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges, where academics are integrated with intensive therapy and counseling to address their specific needs and promote personal growth, often including individual and group therapy sessions within a structured daily schedule. 

Key points about structured therapeutic school programs:
o. Focus on holistic support: Beyond academics, these programs prioritize addressing underlying
emotional and behavioral issues through therapy, counseling, and behavior management strategies. 
o. Individualized approach: Each student receives a personalized plan based on their unique needs,
including tailored academic modifications and therapeutic interventions. 
o. Structured environment: A clear daily routine with consistent rules and expectations helps students
feel safe and provides a predictable framework for learning and behavior development. 
o. Small class sizes: Smaller student-to-teacher ratios allow for more individualized attention and
support. 
o. Collaboration with families: Therapeutic schools often involve parents and guardians in the
treatment process to ensure consistency and support at home. 

Types of structured therapeutic school programs:
o. Therapeutic day schools: Students attend school during the day and receive therapy services on-
site. 
o. Therapeutic boarding schools: Students live at the school and receive 24/7 support, including
academics, therapy, and life skills development. 

Who might benefit from a structured therapeutic school program:
Students with anxiety or depression, Students experiencing behavioral challenges, Students with learning disabilities, and Students who have experienced trauma.
