NORTHERN VIRGINIA JUVENILE DETENTION HOME
Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Home is a public school that is part of the Department of Education State-Operated Educ Prgms school district, located in Alexandria, VA.
The Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Home (NVJDH), located at 200 S. Whiting St. in Alexandria, is a secure residential facility designed to provide temporary care and custody for youth who have been ordered by the court to be detained. Operating under the jurisdiction of the Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Commission, the facility serves the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, and Arlington County. Its primary mission is to ensure public safety while providing a structured, rehabilitative environment that addresses the immediate needs of the residents during their period of detention.
Education and behavioral support are central components of the facility's programming. Because the youth residing there are in the custody of the juvenile justice system, the facility partners with local school divisions to provide an onsite educational program, ensuring that students maintain academic progress while they await court proceedings or placement. Beyond academics, the home emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, offering mental health services, life skills training, and supervision aimed at promoting positive development and reducing the likelihood of recidivism once the youth return to their communities.
