Our History

NSI Academy was founded in 1991 in Sheridan, Wyoming as a small residential treatment program for adolescents with behavioral and emotional problems. As additional programs were developed and the school's reputation grew, other jurisdictions throughout Wyoming took notice of a successful concept: "troubled adolescents" were taking significant respoNSI Academybility for their own treatment programs. Referring agencies saw the positive results of the norms-based approach, and student population increased.

The result was growth and the need for expaNSI Academyon to the fully developed campus on the present site some three miles west of Sheridan. Demand for Normative's services has continued to increase. Our belief in our students’ abilities, potential, and capacity to thrive and excel in a safe and challenging environment grows stronger each year.
