Utah boarding school where Paris Hilton alleged abuse as a teen loses its licence

A Utah-based girls' boarding school, Provo Canyon School, has lost its license due to allegations of abuse, neglect, and unsafe practices dating back to 2025. The school, which serves girls aged 12 to 18 as a psychiatric residential treatment center, was cited by Utah state regulators for unnecessary restraints, aggressive physical contact, and failure to provide adequate health and safety services. Paris Hilton, a socialite who alleges she was abused at the school in the 1990s, praised the decision, calling it validation for survivors. The school has 15 days to appeal the ruling and stated it is evaluating legal options. Additional concerns have led to temporary restrictions on the school’s boys’ campus, which is currently unable to accept new students.
