| Crittenton School | ||
 Crittenton
operates a non-public school certified by the State of California
Dept. of Education for grades 8 through 12. We have contracts with
Fullerton Elementary District and Fullerton High School District to
meet the state's education mandate for children in our care that cannot
or who choose not to be mainstreamed into regular classes. Typically,
95% of adolescents prefer Crittenton School which operates on a short-day,
eleven-month calendar to accomodate our clients' other program needs.

| Emancipation / Transitional Services | ||
|
When our clients are emancipating to independence directly from our residential program, the emancipation department works with them to ensure that they have adequate housing and resources to set up their own households. Crittenton Services also has a Stepping Stones Project which provides transitional housing on a tenant basis to Moms/Babies leaving residential care. Clients in this program are futher supported by our Home Visitor Program. |

| Kidsnet | ||
| Each residential cottage is linked by cable to a file server housing educational software. Subject to available funding, there will be one Pentium computer to each six residents (eventually, 1:4) in each cottage for homework, research, and educational play. Ultimately, each computer will be linked to the Educational Center for homework assistance and to facilitate home schooling during maternity rest. | ||
| The Arts | ||
| No education is truly complete without an exploration of the arts. Many of our clients exhibit considerable interest and talent but have never had the opportunity to make music, stick their fingers in the clay, or learn to express themselves through dance. Through the generous support of donors, we have been able to add the arts to our curriculm - and enrich lives as a result. | ||
|
In
keeping with the continuous need for children in placement to be
prepared to become successful adults, Crittenton has an emancipation
program which offers our clients both pre-emancipation and emancipated
classes, and chances for career exploration and job readiness preparation.
In addition, these services help to improve the level of employment
possibilities.
