Students Served The Discovery School of Virginia is an outdoor therapeutic school for boys who are experiencing emotional. behavioral, and/or learning problems. All students are physically able to participate in the outdoor living program and have at least an average IQ. Typically students are considered emotionally immature for their age; however, they are able to function in a group setting and are capable of developing mutually supportive relationships.
Most students are experiencing ongoing frustration or failure in the traditional or other non-traditional academic settings. Lack of success in school may arise from specific learning difficulties, attention deficits, hyperactivity, lack of motivation, poor study skills, behavior problems, or emotional disabilities. Other difficulties may originate from unresolved emotional, developmental, and/or family issues. Frequently, students have histories of acting out against school and parental rules.
