A Therapeutic Boarding School

provides:

  • An academic program that is recognized and certified by regional accrediting agencies. The boarding school program should model as closely as possible the curriculum and activities provided by a traditional boarding school.

  • A comprehensive and intensive clinical program with Master's level therapists to address the emotional, behavioral and addiction needs of the students and their families. The structured individual and group therapy as well as adherence to a strong 12 Step program teaches at risk, defiant teenagers how to deal with behavioral and situational issues. But more importantly helps them to develop insightful thinking and instills in them the tools to carry them throughout life.

Testimonials

After graduating from Ridge Creek School my son continued his education and graduated cum laude and received his Phi Beta Kappa recognition. He is a strapping 150 pounds now – afar cry from the 200 + prior to Ridge Creek School. He had abandoned using all anti-depressants while at Ridge Creek School and continues to remain off of them

Ridge Creek Boarding School was created to help these children learn how to become mature and responsible. Our goal is to fully develop a child in physical, social, spiritual, academic, and emotional areas. We have been extremely pleased with the success rate of the graduates of our therapeutic program.
