Therapeutic Schools
School is the most important – and often most stressful – activity in your child’s day. Sometimes teens need a break from the standard academic and social environments to focus on their own healing journey. Innova’s therapeutic day schools provide this opportunity while still offering accredited school credits with an on-site certified teacher and trauma therapist.
What Are Day Schools?
Therapeutic day school is an all day program that blends mental health with academics. Everything we do is geared towards helping your teen develop social, emotional and relational skills while also learning.
Part of the day is spent in therapeutic groups, learning self-regulation and addressing issues of trauma, anxiety and depression that have impeded their ability to focus and engage well. The rest of the day is spent in a therapeutic classroom, with a teacher who has trauma informed care training and is well-versed in mental health.
At our Boerne campus, we incorporate animal therapy everyday, giving students a chance to learn to care for themselves by caring for animals, such as goats and pigs.
What Do Typical Classes Look Like?
Typical classes incorporate self-reflection and healthy coping skills into the curriculum while still learning the basics such as math, science and english. Innova Joy also understands that the teenage brain is not wired for sitting in a classroom all day. We add practical and hands-on skills groups such as cooking, gardening and life skills.
Therapeutic Day School is Covered by Most Insurance
How Can We Help Your Child?
For a child who has experienced various types of trauma and abuse, going to school every day can feel like being in a war zone with bullies, pressures to perform and the constant need to be on guard. Innova Joy understands these dynamics and offers a safe environment for your child to heal so they can be ready for the next phase of life.
We have a very strict no bullying policy and monitor all student interactions closely to ensure your child is safe. We accommodate 504 plans and help develop additional necessary plans for your child’s return to their home school when the time is right.

Program hours – with transportation – are 8 am – 5 pm, thus there is little to no interference with the standard work day for parents.
We are a long-term program, with stays covered by insurance lasting up to 4 months. This eliminates the struggle of pulling a child in and out of school as they can stay an entire semester.
