About Yellowstone Academy

The education programs at Yellowstone Academy serve students requiring special programming and support. YA staff meet regularly with parents, school personnel, outside agencies, mental health service providers, and advocacy groups to develop individual education plans (IEPs) for students.

YA continuum of instruction includes self-contained and rotation classrooms geared to the individual needs of the youth served. A typical classroom staffing in the Yellowstone Academy consists of one teacher plus one classroom para-educator. The number of students in the classroom varies, but every effort is made to keep the class size to 10 or lower. Students are supervised at all times, (walking between classes, going to bathroom, lunch, lunch recess, before and after class etc.). Teachers record daily behavior ratings and monthly summaries of each student's performance for progress reporting, program planning, and student accountability. An Educational Discharge Summary and formal Transcript are completed for each student when discharged from the Yellowstone Academy. These documents are sent to the receiving school district and/or parents upon request.

Class offerings include core subjects in Science, Mathematics, English, Social Studies, and Physical Education. Electives in Fine Arts and Practical Arts are offered. Unique vocational opportunities are available including but not limited to metals, woodworking, and year round equestrian center activities.

Related ancillary services are provided for students on an as-needed basis. YA has speech therapy, occupational therapy, and school psychology services. The residential treatment program of YBGR supports the YA with other clinical services including individual, family and group therapies, and psychiatric services.
