This service provides hope, healing and restoration to hurting teen girls and their families through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Helping people heal their hearts and guide them to restoration has always been our goal.
Our beautiful residential home houses up to 6 girls at a time and is staffed 24 hours. Residents will work through our 6 structured phases of healing and attend our on-site private Hope Academy.
We provide:

environment through six phases of healing

sessions for the teens and their families

broken family relationships which include
six phases of counseling. The teen and
their family have both separate and
combined counseling sessions.
Hope Academy
All of our residents are enrolled in our on-site school, Hope Academy. It is registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and utilizes the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum as a non public school.
The combination of a small group setting and an individualized educational plan provides students with the attention and academic encouragement needed to prepare them to be effective in their scholarly endeavors now and in the future.
● Each teen attends Hope Academy which is
staffed with experienced educators.
● Each teen is given a diagnostic test to
determine an appropriate placement level.
An individualized education plan (IEP) will
then be implemented if necessary.
● Use of the ACE (Accelerated Christian
Education) program; a biblically based
curriculum and one that allows teens to
learn at their own pace.
● Teens spend approximately 30 hours per
week engaged in educational activities.
Many teens who had fallen behind in
school are able to catch up on credits due
to our year-round program and are often
able to re-enter their former school at the
correct grade level after they’ve completed
our program.

high school diplomas at a formal commencement ceremony.
