AmiKids Caddo is a specialized educational and behavioral program located in Shreveport, Louisiana, designed to serve youth who have become involved with the juvenile justice system or are at risk of doing so. Operating as part of a national non-profit network, the school focuses on a holistic approach that combines intensive academic instruction with evidence-based behavioral intervention. The primary mission is to redirect students’ trajectories by providing a structured environment that emphasizes personal accountability, social skill development, and the restoration of academic progress.
