Academics

Academics play an important role in this stage of an adolescent’s life. Therefore we have designed a curriculum that will both challenge your child and allow them to continue their academic career. Our academics are uniquely individualized for each student. Because we are a small program, we have the luxury of customizing the curriculum around your student’s learning styles and differences.

We work closely with you as parents and with the school your child is coming from to customize the curriculum based on your child’s current standing. We will then pick up from there and move forward with the needed course work. We offer a wide range of courses, and the credits earned while at the ranch can be transferred upon completion of the program.

The academics consist of self-mastery work which allows students to learn at their pace and in the way that is most effective for them. Progress is based on each student’s individual mastery of the material so that they are not pressured by arbitrary expectations.

The goal of our academic curriculum is to enhance the therapeutic experience your child will receive while at the ranch. Our academics are structured to serve the dual purpose of providing our students the best opportunity for success in life as well as creating an environment where learning becomes exciting and a privilege.
