Part of the program is a robust schedule of physical activities, including special outings and equine work.

Your daughter will get caught up on her academics while here. Our academic program is fully accredited. Our tuition is much less than therapeutic boarding schools, but our high student-to-staff ratio gives girls personal attention leading to life change.
KCGA offers a faith-based program school that addresses the unique challenges faced by troubled teens today. It blends academic instruction, with spiritual guidance and 24/7 care. The year-round boarding school is designed to create a nurturing environment where students can explore and strengthen their faith while receiving the help they need to overcome emotional and behavioral issues. The school curriculum is infused with Christian values and character development, encouraging girls to develop a deeper relationship with God and integrate their faith into their daily lives. KCGA’s trained staff work closely with the girls to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, and behavioral difficulties, all within a framework that emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth and character development.
“Our daughter was totally rebellious, acting-out, shouting when things wouldn’t go her way, pushing and shoving, lying, sneaking around and drinking. It was awful, all the things that she exposed herself to at such a young age had a hold on her and she was living in total rebellion. We love our daughter and don’t want to watch her destroy her life and her future. So we called Teen Challenge. Within the first couple of weeks we saw changes in her attitude, and within a month’s time my baby girl contacted me and said that she had received Jesus Christ and from that point on she has changed a little more each and every time I see her. I am so proud of her.”
“God used Teen Challenge to save my daughter’s life. Her choices had taken her down a path of destruction that led to a car accident one night when she and a friend had been drinking and taking pills. She could have died that night but instead ended up in jail. I was certain this would be her rock bottom – but instead she became even more defiant over the next few weeks so I had to do something. After our visit to Teen Challenge I had a peace that this was God’s choice for my daughter. The road wasn’t easy but she was able to internalize God’s word and rebuild relationships with her family that we thought had been damaged beyond repair. I would recommend your program for any young girl, troubled or not.”
“I have been a long time support of the work it has accomplished and the help they have provided over the years.”
“I speak from more than 20 years of knowledge of the organization when I tell you that it works.”
“Organizations like this…have a far better record of dealing with social issues and people in difficulty than do the bureaucrats.”
“I truly admire this program because of its loving, life-giving ministry to individuals with life controlling issues.”
“It is one of the most successful programs in our country.”
“it offers hope and restoration to individuals by exchanging their distorted views on life with God’s perspectives.”
“I have not seen a more effective ministry in leading hurting people to a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ.”
“I wholeheartedly support the efforts of this school…they really make a difference in lives and each of us can be proud that they are part of our community.”
“It is doing the job that others only talk about. Talk is good, but more action is required. This is a reputable institution that needs to be highlighted.”
KCGA is helps improve the behavior and attitudes of adopted or self-destructing teenage girls, ages 12-17. We help them get back on track spiritually, behaviorally and academically.
