Father Flanagan believed that children aren’t inherently bad: they’re only as bad or good as their environment and education. Today, more than a century later, Boys Town continues to be guided by his forward-thinking philosophy. In schools nationwide, Boys Town education experts work with educators to implement a unique approach that we call the Boys Town Education Model®. Built and refined on decades of research and experience, the Education Model provides a comprehensive approach to addressing the emotional, behavioral and social needs of students.
