Therapeutic Boarding Program
Waterford Country School’s Therapeutic Boarding Program serves middle and high school aged boys, ages 11-17, with social, emotional and academic needs. It is a year-round program with rolling admissions.
The WCS Boarding Program is located in rural Connecticut, just a few hours drive to New York City and Boston. The beautiful campus boasts animal interaction and nature based adventures but the surrounding area provides opportunities like Harkness Memorial State Park, Ocean Beach Park, the Garde Arts Center, Supercharged Indoor Go-Kart Center, Old Mystic Village and sports teams nearby like the Connecticut Sun WNBA team and the UCONN Huskies. The Connecticut shoreline is a great place for families to visit, and a wonderful place to live!
