Academics at Ironwood

Ironwood, as well as a treatment program, is an academic secondary school licensed by the State of Maine. Three certified teachers teach and tutor residents daily in our two school buildings, year around. All traditional high school subjects- English, math through calculus, history, government, chemistry, biology, physics, earth and environmental sciences, art and languages- are available, as are experiential and elective offerings. For high school graduates or advanced students we provide a variety of undergraduate level courses through several universities, and for residents not ready for secondary school work we match course level to the student. For high school juniors and seniors, we are often able to plan a program whereby the student leaves Ironwood with an accredited high school diploma. Our educational staff, if parents wish, will work with past and future schools so that transitions to and from Ironwood are as easy, smooth and problem free as possible. We can help students with college applications, and offer SAT testing on site.

There are a number of possibilities for your teen's educational program at Ironwood, but most of our students enroll simultaneously in Oak Meadow School.
