"In my thirty -one years working with very challenging adolescents, I have referred many of them to the Elan School. In every instance the results of the excellent clinical work, education,and structured therapeutic enviroment has enabled my clients to move into productive, healthy lives.  It would not be an overstatement to say that the Elan School has saved many lives."  

James F. Roche, Ed.D. , Educational Consultant 

“Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work very closely with Elan and their staff. I would estimate that I have personally been involved with at least ten students that were referred to their residential facility. I have visited the facility three times, once attending a graduation ceremony for one of our students. I have been and continue to be quite impressed with their overall philosophy and success rate for our students. I highly recommend Elan as an option for any adolescent who needs redirection and relearning for a more positive, successful approach to life.”

"Elan changes lives!  The program at Elan provides students with a second chance to rebuild their lives by looking from within to make a change to strengthen their family relationships while completing their educational requirements.  Through a supportive therapeutic approach, a student emerges from Elan a different person who understands their value and worth to the greater community."  

MA, Director of Out of District

“I have been referring families to Elan School for many years.  Elan’s unique approach is to address student behavior through personal growth and peer interaction.   Their confrontational yet nurturing style has proven very effective for students with serious behavioral problems.  Students learn real accountability through the life skills curriculum."
