In Harmony Heights' residential program, students ages 13 to 21 must abide by residential rules and move up through a four level behavior modification system.[8] Students are only allowed to go home every weekend if they reach and maintain a Level 3.[3] The lower the level, the fewer "privileges" are given to the student.[3]
