At the present time, the Glen Mills Schools has numerous operational contracts which include youth from residences throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Our other contracts are from different states and include contractual arrangements with the District of Columbia and sovereign Native American jurisdictions. Additionally, we have placements from Bermuda and Germany. Glen Mills Schools is a Title IV-E Approved facility with a ninety percent allowable reimbursement as per Pennsylvania’s Office of Children, Youth and Families.
The Glen Mills Schools will consider candidates from agencies dealing with adolescent, adjudicated delinquent and adjudicated dependent males between the ages of fourteen (14) and eighteen (18), with an I.Q. of 70 or higher.
An interview with each youth is required and an interview with the youth's parent(s) / guardian is highly desirable. We are prepared to deal with aggressive, hostile juveniles; socially maladjusted but considered healthy from an emotional standpoint. We do not accept the emotionally disturbed or psychotic and will not consider those with self-destructive or fire setting histories.
All candidates must go through a screening process that starts with a written referral. After review of the materials, a face to face interview will be scheduled. Decisions are made in a timely manner - usually within 24-48 hours.
A pre-admission assessment will be completed by an Admissions Coordinator at the time of the interview and appropriately documented to ensure that the Schools can meet the needs of the prospective youth. Admissions, the provision of services and referrals shall be made without regard to race, color, religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin or limited English proficiency.
