Thank you for considering giving us the extreme privilege of serving your family in this time of crisis!

We are a therapeutic boarding school dedicated to helping girls who are facing life-controlling issues or behaviors that jeopardize their future. Our team specializes in working with girls who exhibit problematic behavior stemming from emotional turmoil such as trauma, abuse, loss of a loved one, or attachment disorders related to adoption. 

We address and heal negative core beliefs that impact your daughter’s life. Through a collaborative approach among our therapeutic, residential, and academic departments within a supportive, peer-led community, we utilize therapeutic interventions as catalysts for change. If you’ve tried other therapies or programs without sustained success, our program is uniquely structured to ignite a genuine desire for change in your daughter. She will engage in experiences aimed at reshaping false beliefs and reinforcing positive ones within a safe and nurturing environment and a renewed God-led purpose in her life. 

Our mission is to equip your daughter with the tools and guidance to transform negative beliefs, establish healthy relational patterns, and practice them in various settings to support lasting change. We achieve this through a balanced combination of academic excellence and exceptional therapeutic support, fostering an environment of both encouragement and accountability. Moreover, we believe that renewed faith in God plays a crucial role in recovery.  Every day, our entire team is committed to guiding your daughter towards emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

We use the renowned Teen Challenge program and approach, which has successfully helped teenagers for the past 60 years.  This program is built on the premise that effective therapeutic change goes beyond mere dialogue; it necessitates immersive daily experiences that stimulate emotional healing and personal growth. These experiences, played out again and again over a year’s time, reshape negative beliefs, promote positive thinking, and foster a healthy spiritual  focus. By first addressing the root causes of her symptoms and behaviors, our team introduces tools and daily experiences that encourage sustainable positive change. Through consistent reinforcement of newfound perspectives and behaviors, both during her stay and upon her return home, your daughter will experience genuine, enduring transformation.
