Other forms of residential schools include: * [[Therapeutic boarding schools]] are tuition-based, out-of-home placements that combine therapy and education for children, usually teenagers, with emotional, behavioral, substance abuse, or learning disabilities.<ref>{{citation|last=Story|first=Louise|title=A Business Built on the Troubles of Teenagers|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/17/business/a-business-built-on-the-troubles-of-teenagers.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=17 August 2005}}</ref> * Traveling boarding schools, such as [[Think Global School]], are four-year high schools that immerse the students in a new city each term. Traveling boarding schools partner with a host school within the city to provide the living and educational facilities.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=What is TGS?|url=http://thinkglobalschool.org/about/what-is-tgs/|publisher=Think Global School|access-date=15 September 2014|archive-date=13 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140913214525/http://thinkglobalschool.org/about/what-is-tgs/|url-status=dead}}</ref> * Sailing boarding schools, such as [[A+ World Academy]], are high schools based on ships that sail around the world and combine high school education with travel, and personal development. Classes typically take place both, onboard and in some of the ports they visit.<ref name=":0" /> * Outdoor boarding schools, which teach students independence and self-reliance through survival style camp outs and other [[outdoor activities]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.woodcreekacademy.com/wilderness-therapy/ |title=Wilderness Therapy Program, Therapeutic Boarding School for Troubled Boys |publisher=Woodcreek Academy |access-date=2014-05-30 |archive-date=22 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180322020116/https://www.woodcreekacademy.com/wilderness-therapy/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> * [[Residential education]] programs, which provide a stable and supportive environment for at-risk children. * Residential schools for students with [[Special education|special educational needs]], who may or may not be disabled * [[Semester school]]s, which complement a student's [[secondary education]] by providing a one [[semester]] residential experience with a central focusing curricular theme—which may appeal to students and families uninterested in a longer residential education experience * Specialist schools focused on a particular academic discipline, such as the public [[North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics]] or the private [[Interlochen Arts Academy]]. * The [[Youth village|Israeli youth villages]], where children stay and are educated in a commune, but also have everyday contact with their parents at specified hours. * Public boarding schools, which are operated by public school districts. In the U.S., general-attendance public boarding schools were once numerous in rural areas, but are extremely rare today. As of the 2013–2014 school year, the [[SEED Foundation]] administered public charter boarding schools in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland. One rural public boarding school is [[Crane Union High School]] in [[Crane, Oregon|Crane]], Oregon. Around two-thirds of its more than 80 students, mostly children from remote [[ranch]]es, board during the school week in order to save a one-way commute of up to {{convert|240|km}} across [[Harney County, Oregon|Harney County]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.opb.org/programs/oregonstory/ruralvoices/crane.html|title=The Oregon Story.
