WHERE WOULD MY SON GO TO SCHOOL?
Education
is one of the most
emphasized goals at Nebraska Boys Ranch. We offer many
levels of education service, but our philosophy is that
boys need to be able to learn to function in the public
school setting. This is primarily based upon the fact
that most of our youth return to their family and their
home school, and will need to be able to function in
both of those areas. NBR provides a staff member who
serves as a liaison between the public school and NBR.
After school programs,
tutoring, summer school, school assessments for proper
placement, GED (see below) and college courses are some
of the peripheral services offered through the education
department. Youth are expected to be willing and able,
to enter the public school system as part of their
program. If age and lack of earned high school credits
do not allow for a traditional high school program to be
completed, entry into the GED program will be
considered. We have, on occasion, assisted youth to
transition to the Job Corps program, as well. We offer a
transitional school on campus, which is used to help the
boys acclimate to their new living arrangement and new
level of expectation that is now placed upon them. This
program is supervised by a certified teacher.
