We are a Highly Successful Private Boarding School/Bootcamp for Troubled Teens & their Families for over 32 years; we’ve helped over 36,000 students with a 90% non-relapse if they’re with us for a year and 86% of our graduates go on to college.
We are boarding schools and boot camps that utilize a one-year process in changing the negative habits/behaviors that have been destroying your son or daughters life. Much of our success in life is based on our habits. If we have developed good relationship habits we tend to have good relationships. If we have cultivated good work habits, we tend to always have a job. If we have good study habits, we typically have advanced degrees. Ultimately, we are creatures of habit. Our good habits make us, our bad habits break us. If we have good daily habits, we become successful in every area of our lives.
Every student that comes to our boarding school learns these proper habits over a one year period. That segway’s their newly acquired successful behavior/habits into a sterling character, with self respect for themselves and for others.
Every student that comes to our program learns the following four cardinal principles:
1.Limits and boundaries and how to tell the truth.
The students learn, as we set limits and boundaries through the use of calisthenics as discipline. They learn how to tell the truth in all things which helps them win back their own self respect and once they start to like themselves again, they naturally begin to appreciate others. The minute we get them to start telling the truth, is the minute they begin to change.
2.We teach them how to work.
We Teach our students how to work hard as we instill an incredible work ethic, getting up at 6:30 in the morning and going until about 8:30 or 9:30 at night. There is complete structure Monday through Saturday. Honestly we just work their butts off and it has a tendency to mature them and help them in every area of their lives. We have found once they learn how to work, they can learn to work through just about anything in their lives now and in the future.
3. We teach our students Gratitude, Respect & Reverence
We teach them to have respect for themselves and others and to have reverence and gratitude, while they discover these sacred virtues in their own lives. As they do the first two principles on a consistent basis for about six months, they begin to experience these qualities naturally and begin to implement them in their lives.
4. We get them off the Internet and teach them how to serve others, letting go of entitlement and become their best selves.
We remove the students from the Internet and social media and its many forms of narcissism. Being in our program is like going back in time 50 years and being raised on a family farm where they have daily responsibilities. Most of all, we teach and learn how to forget themselves and serve others and focus on the needs and problems of those around them. This in turn, heals their individual issues that they are battling. A wise man once said, “behold, I tell you these things that you may learn wisdom, that you may learn that when you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God”
