When students come to the Q-House, they become a part of a cohesive, supportive community of peers and qualified staff.

The Q-House embraces a wide spectrum of students with targeted needs, so every student feels like they belong, and that they can succeed. We offer a normalized high school environment where students can earn a high school diploma or GED.

Q-House students are given indpendent living and employability skills through life skills curricula, job placement/search services and transition planning so our students can continue their education– or their careers– in their home communities.

Student Orientation

With the aid of a student mentor, the new student is introduced into the program as soon as possible. Varied learning, linguistically appropriate materials, and instructional strategies ensure each student comprehends the orientation process, which includes a tour of the campus, the development of a school schedule, a health examination, and program information as well as resources which include the student resource guide and an I-VALIDATE binder.

Orientation recognizes the integral role that parents, families and other approved supportive adults play. Family members are welcome to tour the campus and meet staff, if they were unavailable to visit prior to a student’s admission.  Through Orientation, the family will be involved in the development of the student’s Individualized Treatment Plan which identifies clear education, treatment and life goals for the student.
