Normative Services (Closed 2016)

Normative Services Prep School offers an array of gender-specific services for today's at-risk and adjudicated youth.
Normative is a coed JCAHO-accredited treatment and educational facility for at-risk and adjudicated delinquent youth.
Normative focuses on the confrontation and redirection of negative behavior while recognizing desired, positive behavior.
Throughout a student's stay, he or she is challenged to analyze failures and experience success in nearly every area of life.
We have six main residential sites on our large, rural campus.
Four are for males, two are for females. Each modern, well maintained residence is developed to look and feel as much like a family home as possible.
Each residence has staff members who are assigned only to that site, with staff working on shifts throughout the 24-hour day.
This provides for the development of a close personal 'home team' at each site, with ample backup and input from other teams to form a solid, caring community.
In addition to the team at each residence, NSI has a large support staff that regularly interacts with the house teams to provide all of the needed services to meet our students' needs.
