Oaklawn Campus Program

The **Oaklawn Campus Program**, located on Lincolnway West in Mishawaka, Indiana, serves as a specialized educational environment operating under the umbrella of Oaklawn, a well-known regional provider of mental health and addiction services. Unlike a traditional academic institution, the Campus Program is designed to support students who require intensive behavioral and emotional support alongside their standard curriculum. It typically functions as a therapeutic school setting for K-12 students who may struggle to succeed in a general education classroom due to significant emotional or behavioral challenges.

The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating academic instruction with clinical support to help students develop the coping skills and self-regulation necessary to eventually transition back to their home school districts. By providing a structured, highly supervised atmosphere, Oaklawn aims to minimize disruptions to the student's academic progress while addressing the root causes of their behavioral difficulties. It serves as a vital community resource for families and school corporations seeking a safe, trauma-informed setting for students who need more stability than a traditional school environment can offer.
