The Provo Canyon School is an intensive, psychiatric youth residential treatment center, located in Utah. Provo Canyon School focuses on evidence-based, clinical best practices. Within the services provided, PCS's facilities offer complete school services, with separate school areas and many solid supports and resources for their students.

Approved by several organizations, Provo Canyon campuses are licensed by the State of Utah and are also fully accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC).
The Joint Commission is a non-profit organization that accredits and certifies health care programs and organizations in the US. TJC was founded in 1951, ever since they have been evaluating health care organizations to encourage their improvement and effectiveness. TJC currently accredits and assesses more than 21 thousand health care organizations in the US.
TJC provides a gold seal of approval to the accredited organizations, but they must undergo an on-site survey at least every three years by a TJC team. If approved by TJC, the organization's commitment to meeting TJC's performance standards and quality is recognized nationwide.
