Consequently, the program is highly structured and responsibilities are taken very seriously. Clearview is a Christian based program. The girls attend Sunday services and youth group if interested, and grace is said at dinner. The Clearview student learns to complete tasks and the importance of the Work Ethic. Students will attend school, receive tutoring when necessary, and participate in after school activities.
