The Simsbury ABC program is centered at the ABC house on Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury. This historic house in the center of town has been remodeled to accommodate up to nine young men, as well as Resident Directors and a Resident Tutor. The Resident Directors create a family atmosphere within the house, and the Resident Tutor helps the students with their studies and oversees nightly study hours.
 Students, selected for their academic abilities, strength of character, and motivation, generally enter the program as freshmen. They live in the ABC house throughout the school year, attend Simsbury High School, and return to their homes for vacations and summers.
The overriding goals of Simsbury ABC are to prepare these students for college and to help them get into the college of their choice. Administrators, guidance counselors, and teachers from Simsbury High School work closely with students and board members to ensure that these goals are reached.
Simsbury ABC is a community effort, with many people contributing in a variety of ways to its success. A volunteer Board of Directors is responsible for the programs, policies, staff, house, van, and all fund-raising, in addition to meeting the academic and social needs of the students.
