BURLINGTON CO JUVEN DET CTR

BURLINGTON CO JUVEN DET CTR is a public high school that is part of the OFFICE OF EDUCATION JUVENILE JUSTICE COMMISSION school district, located in MT HOLLY, NJ with about 21 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade.

The **Burlington County Juvenile Detention Center**, located on Pemberton Browns Mills Road in Mount Holly, New Jersey, functions as a secure residential facility designed to provide temporary custody for youth who are awaiting court proceedings. Unlike a traditional school, the facility operates under the oversight of the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission and the local county government, focusing primarily on the safety, security, and short-term rehabilitation of the residents housed within its walls.

Education remains a fundamental component of the facility’s operations, as it is legally mandated to provide continuous schooling for all detained youth. The educational program is designed to prevent disruptions in academic progress, offering a structured environment that follows a curriculum aligned with state standards. Through a collaborative effort between the detention center staff and specialized educational instructors, the program focuses on core subjects, credit recovery, and behavioral support, ensuring that students remain engaged in learning despite their temporary placement in the justice system.
