EVA CARLSTON ACADEMYHelping Girls Ages 11-18 Reconnect with Themselves, with Others, and with What’s Possible
A PATH FORWARDA Home-Like Setting Designed to Support Healing, Connection, and Growth
At Eva Carlston, we help adolscent girls ages 11-18 rediscover who they are and who they can become. In a supportive home-like setting, students engage in therapy, creative exploration, academics, and real-life experiences that build resilience and a renewed sense of direction.
A Place for Discovery and Change
Eva Carlston doesn’t feel like a program. It feels like home. With 12 to 16 girls per residence and thoughtfully designed interiors, each house creates a sense of safety, warmth, and connection. Located in the heart of Salt Lake City, our homes include inviting spaces for shared meals, quiet reflection, and meaningful moments of growth.
DAILY LIFE BEYOND CAMPUSOut in the World, Every Single Day, Gaining Confidence Through Experience
Students leave campus daily. Whether visiting a museum, volunteering, hiking local trails, shopping for groceries, or attending a theater performance, off-campus experiences create opportunities to explore interests, build independence, and reconnect with the world in meaningful and impactful ways.
How We Support Young Women
Students receive weekly therapy and daily support from trusted mentors. Strong relationships and real-time guidance help them grow, both in structured sessions and in the quieter moments that shape daily life.
Our academic program helps students reengage, regain confidence, and prepare for what’s next. Small classes, certified teachers, and individualized plans support meaningful progress at every stage.
Art is central to healing at Eva Carlston. Through music, dance, painting, writing, and more, students express emotion, reconnect with themselves, and build confidence in ways that feel personal and powerful.
