Founded
in 1826, The Glen Mills Schools is the oldest residential
school for court referred young men in the country. Located
on 756-acre campus, 20 miles southwest of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, Glen Mills Schools accepts young men 15
to 18 years old from all states.
The Schools’ philosophy is based on two basic principles:
Our
students have great personal endowment and have unlimited
potential to learn and grow.
Our
students are not ‘bad boys’. They may have
done bad things, but are not intrinsically bad. This
simple yet profound statement, although not diminishing
accountability, puts behavior in its environmental context.
The Glen Mills Schools accepts two basic mandates for
students:
To
change behavior from anti-social to pro-social.
To
develop life skills that will help sustain this change.
