School Overview
The **Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center (RCPC)**, located in Orangeburg, New York, serves as a specialized inpatient facility dedicated to providing intensive mental health treatment for children and adolescents. Operated under the umbrella of the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), the center functions as a therapeutic environment for youth experiencing severe emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges. The facility integrates clinical psychiatric care with educational services, ensuring that patients receive continuous support that addresses both their psychological recovery and their academic development during their stay.

The school program within RCPC is designed to meet the unique needs of students who are unable to attend traditional school settings due to the severity of their psychiatric conditions. By adhering to state educational standards, the school provides a structured, trauma-informed learning environment that emphasizes social-emotional growth alongside core academic curricula. The facility’s multidisciplinary team—comprised of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and certified educators—works collaboratively to create individualized treatment and education plans, aiming to stabilize the students and ultimately facilitate their successful transition back to their home districts or less restrictive educational placements.
