Gannondale is committed to the educational process. The expectation is that youth will attend school daily either in our campus school or in public school. We strive for near perfect attendance. Youth are strongly encouraged to attend school regularly since this is a clear expectation from the moment of their admission.

School progress is constantly monitored. Reports are made on a regular basis and all records regarding attendance, grade level, course material and achievement are made available to the school system including specialized education plans if needed.

Youth attend our on-campus education program which is under the supervision of the local Tri-County Intermediate Unit. Gannondale is a recognized PRRI educational provider and receives funding directly from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All teachers are certified.

Youth are evaluated at the time of admission to determine appropriate grade and skill levels. Subsequent to testing these youngsters are placed in a classroom that can best meet their current academic needs. Some youth may attend Public School if they have the behavioral and academic ability to maintain themselves. Classrooms are staffed by a certified teacher and one assistant. We utilize the latest textbooks, materials and computer labs. A vocational or GED track rounds out the program for those who will not be able to attain their diploma.

All grades become a part of the student’s permanent transcript and credits are issued to be counted toward graduation.

We also provide a summer program which is designed to enrich the experiences of youth through artistic activities, physical education, reading and math programs, computer literacy, specialized cooking classes, summer employment and field trips with a focus on cultural enrichment and environmental protection.
