When students first arrive at JRC, they live in one of our larger and highly staffed residences that specialize in handling new admissions. Each of these "Intake Residences" serves 8-12 students. While students are living in one of these Intake Residences, they come to the school building 7 days a week and their school day extends to 8:00 p.m. each evening. As the students' behaviors improve, however, they advance to smaller homes and apartments that have fewer staff members and students (some have as few as four students), more privileges and a more normal schedule for attendance at the school. There are five categories of residences: (1) Intake Residences; (2) Intermediate Residences; (3) High Privileges Residences; (4) High Privileges Apartments; and (5) Transitional Apartments/Residences. Just as a student can advance from one residence to another by showing desired behaviors, undesired behaviors may cause the student to move back to a lower step on the residences ladder until his or her behavior improves.
