Admissions

Learn more about our admission process.

Thank you for your interest in Waterfall Canyon Academy! As you go through the admissions process, we want to make sure you are able to easily access the information you need in order to better understand who we are and who we serve as well as provide you with an outlined list of the information we will require.

The two most important parts of this process for us will be collecting any and all accurate and informative documentation that you have available and discussions with you and the professionals who know your son/daughter best. Gathering of this information is one of the key factors that will allow our team to evaluate the suitability of a referral and make the best decision about placement for everyone.

Student Profile by Program

This level of care is for students who require a high level of support and supervision.
Residential students benefit from a high staff to student ratio, structured daily schedule,
in-depth skills classes and a comprehensive therapeutic approach.
We offer residential services to males 13-25 years old and females 13-17 years old.

 Transitional Living

This level of care is for students who have typically completed a highly structured program and are ready to integrate into the community.
Their basic social skills are acceptable but they need ongoing coaching as they build on those skills and apply them in real life scenarios.
They understand the safety of oneself and others rests in their ability to control behaviors, manage emotions and navigate social situations.
They would benefit from opportunities to understand and strengthen executive functioning skills, gain employment, progress academically,
and participate in life enrichment activities. We offer transitional services to males 17-23 years old and females 18-23 years old.

 Advanced Transitional Living

Advanced Transitional Living students need a bridge between a transitional setting and independence.
They would benefit from 24 hour on site staff support, frequent check-ins, opportunities for group social activities,
offered skills classes, productivity expectations, vocational/academic coaching, and individualized mentoring.
