Residential Services

Saint Dominic Savio Home

The Saint Dominic Savio Home residential program (for boys) serves students who demonstrate persistent emotional and behavioral challenges that significantly interfere with educational progress and who require integrated clinical and educational support beyond what a traditional school setting can provide.

Students admitted to the Saint Dominic Savio Home Program may be enrolled in an approved therapeutic day school or at Maryville Academy’s Charles H. Walsh Sr. Academy & Career Tech High School (Walsh Academy). Walsh Academy offers a structured and supportive learning environment that provides tailored academic and vocational programs designed for students facing academic, emotional, behavioral or cognitive challenges that may impact their future opportunities.

The residential program’s theoretical foundation centers on empathy, resilience building, and trauma-informed care. Maryville employs the Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC) model, a comprehensive framework designed to meet the needs of youth with complex trauma histories.

Based on individual needs, students receive a range of services, including individual, family and group therapy; life skills education; psychoeducational groups; psychiatric services; substance use counseling; and job-readiness training. Program staff facilitate family engagement and healing through structured therapy sessions, home visits, and parent support sessions. Family therapy addresses relational dynamics, enhances communication and helps resolve conflicts within the home.

These integrated approaches are designed to promote positive youth development and ensure successful reintegration into each student’s home and community environment. The overarching goal of the St. Dominic Savio Home Program is to maximize the likelihood of a successful return home, transition to a less restrictive setting or independent living.
