School Programs
The comparison summaries of all schools in our program are listed below with links for more detailed information on each of them. These specialty boarding schools for troubled teens and pre-teens utilize behavior modification protocol and communication skills taught by trained staff to promote harmonious family relationships, healthy emotional development, self-esteem, good citizenship and social skills. The proven concepts utilized in the program consistently help lead to emotionally stable kids and improved academic achievement. Most of our schools handle students from ages 13-17 yrs. with acceptance of 12yr. olds and 18 yr. olds in some cases. We also have a highly effective program for 7-14 yr. olds at Majestic Ranch Academy. Recently, we have added a behavioral modification retreat for young adults age 19-23 yrs. This retreat is offered at Spring Creek Lodge only. All schools in our program utilize proven behavior modification protocol and a structured daily schedule. This is combined with emotional growth materials/seminars, and powerful daily group feedback sessions. Most of the schools are fully accredited and all have a versatile academic program that can be adapted to the abilities of the student.
Three of our program schools have licensed adolesent and/or family therapists on staff, classifying them as residential treatment facilities when serious individual therapy is desired. These are Cross Creek, Spring Creek Lodge and Tranquility Bay where individual therapy is included in the tuition. They are still a good option for any troubled teen and offer all of the benefits of the other schools. All of our other schools offer individual therapy from non-staff consulting therapists as an extra cost option when necessary.
Please take confidence in the fact that if the school you select doesn't best fit the actual needs of your son or daughter, the staff there will ultimately let you know and recommend transfer to the most appropriate school in the program to help your teen. This is a results based program and although all of our schools are successful with many different types of cases, sometimes a different environment works better for an individual student. This would only be suggested after a good trial and concerted effort has been implemented at the school of choice.
WARRANTY: All students who meet the criteria for successful completion from any of these facilities may be re-admitted to the Program for up to 60 day with free tuition if he or she should slip into old attitude or behavior patterns prior to the age of 18.
