The Becket Family of Services has been educating youth and adolescents since 1964.
Described by others as "comprehensive" and "holistic," the Becket approach encompasses services that address all aspects of our students' lives, not just their intellectual and emotional needs, but also their physical, spiritual and vocational needs, as well.
We seek to inspire our students to achieve, in their own unique and personal way, meaningful success.
We do not define success for our students; they must do this themselves - with our guidance, and the guidance of others whom they love and respect.
Mount Prospect Academy offers a staff secure intake and assessment residential treatment program and licensed special education academic facility for boys.
