What makes Geneva different from other residential treatment programs?

Geneva combines high structure with deep relationships. The program is designed for adolescent boys who need clear expectations, consistent accountability, and intensive support, while still receiving compassionate, individualized care. Geneva emphasizes skill development, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and long-term behavioral change rather than simple behavior management alone.

Do you have a high school sports program?

Yes! Telos wants to achieve as much normalcy as possible for students. A Telos student should never feel like they are in a hospital or institutional setting. To offer a full range and quality of life, Telos High offers 10 varsity sports for students to participate in or to cheer for on the sidelines. Certified by Utah High School Activities Association , Telos High is a 1A school and competes with other 1A, 2A, and sometimes 3A schools. Like all schools, a participation and equipment fee is associated if your student chooses to participate. Take a look at our Telos Titan Sports photo gallery.

Is Telos Academy safe?

Yes. Safety is foundational to everything we do. Telos is licensed, accredited, and staffed by trained clinicians and mentors around the clock. For a full overview of our safety practices visit Our Safety Page .

What happens after my son leaves Telos Academy?

Discharge planning is built into the treatment process from early on. Your son's therapist works with your family to create a clear aftercare plan — whether that's returning home, transitioning to a step-down program, or another level of care. The goal is a smooth, supported landing.

Do you work with Educational or Therapeutic Consultants?

Yes. If you are working with an educational or therapeutic consultant, they can work directly with our admissions team. If you need a referral to a trusted consultant who specializes in residential treatment, contact our admissions team and we can help connect you.

What does my son's room look like?

North Campus is designed to feel like home, not an institution. Rooms are large and spacious with a big common area including TV, couches, and a fireplace in each apartment. Custom cubbies and footlockers give each student their own space. See the full campus tour >

Can my son have a job while at Telos Academy?

Students at North Campus attend Telos High from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM and do not hold jobs during that time. Students who transition to a step-down program may be approved for employment by their primary therapist.

Do Telos U students have access to phones and technology?

Yes, personal technology can be part of the treatment process at Telos U. The goal is not to eliminate technology permanently, but to help students learn how to use it responsibly and in ways that support—not distract from—their emotional health, relationships, academics, work, and treatment goals. Technology access is individualized and adjusted based on each student’s current functioning and needs.

Is Telos High only academics?

No. Telos combines academics, therapy, mentoring, and activities as part of the overall program.

Do students receive help with organization and study skills?

Yes. Executive functioning skills such as organization, planning, and follow-through are built into the academic program and may also be reinforced in therapy.
