I have difficulty making friends
I don’t control my actions
I get into fights because peers mock me
I need to be less upset when somebody says something to me that I don’t like
Channel my energy
By working harder with a lot of help, I can get better
I really don’t know how Glenholme can help me, I’m just trusting my parents on that

They came to Glenholme not knowing what to expect. But they had hope. Their parents held to their own hope that Glenholme would meet their very special needs.

The roots of Glenholme have always been an unwavering commitment to each child’s future. Our base is motivational management coupled with values. We enhance that with a scope of encouragement, teaching, listening, modeling, caring, respect, and healing in areas of academics, socialization, creativity, physical and mental stimulants, the fostering of friendships, and always add the magic of fun. The dedicated Glenholme staff constantly reaches for better ways to inspire a child to overcome personal issues and find a path that will lead to the achievement, success and victory of what at one time seemed impossible: graduation.

In September 2004, The Glenholme School was granted accreditation by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges. This honor gave Glenholme the privilege to award its students diplomas upon completion of their high school education. The graduating class of 2005 became the first recipients of these diplomas.

Pride on graduation day is multi-leveled. At Glenholme, the cottage staff, faculty, and administrators let go of the students they have cared for and ministered to. Into the arms of family and friends, children who have grown into young adults celebrate the rewards of goals achieved and the possibilities of tomorrows.

Winners, all.
