Assisting Youth and Families in Exploring Education
Taylor Diversion Programs offers youth the best in education through our Pennsylvania Department of Education private licensed academic school, Lighthouse Island Academy.

“Our commitment in this project is restoring the children’s trails. Let’s dare to try. We’ll reintroduce them. We’ll catch and rear children, and then we’ll release them.”
Diversion, A Preventative Approach
TDP embraces a national movement to keep youth in school and out of the juvenile justice system. To this end, TDP has created a pre-adjudication diversion program for enrolled youth. Aligned with the national models of juvenile justice reform, this approach is designed to accelerate progress toward a more effective, fair, and developmentally sound justice system experience that does the following:
- Holds youth accountable for their actions
- Provides for their rehabilitation
- Protects them from harm
- Increases their life chances for success
- Assists them to better manage their risks
- Accelerate progress
TDP incorporates prevention, intervention, and community reintegration assistance to all youth and families served. Diversion services focuses upon: education aimed at preventing offenses, restitution, community service, and the avoidance of situations that can be problematic and lead to the commitment of offenses in the future.
