If your student is currently failing, it would be better to get them somewhere where they can succeed. If you wait until the end of the quarter or semester, those failing grades will be part of their official transcript that will follow them into college. If they need to catch up, time is of the essence.
The cost of sending your child to a boarding school is usually
far less than sending him to a residential treatment center, and unless he or
she has criminal or drug-abuse problems, a boarding school will probably produce
a more worthwhile result. We have parents tell us that we are far less expensive
than other programs and schools they have seen, but no system that offers what
we offer will be cheap. We can guarantee that we will make it work even when no
other school can.
We
offer a limited number of scholarships each year based on need and merit. None of our
scholarships pay for the full tuition costs, but they do usually allow students
to attend that would not have been able to otherwise. Please contact us for
information regarding eligibility.
Yes. We have partnered with an excellent financing institution
with very reasonable interest rates and excellent acceptance policies. Please
contact us for application instructions. With our focus on student success and
our financing partnerships we are able to help many who would not otherwise be
able to afford a boarding school like ours.

How is your school accredited?
 We
are fully accredited through The Northwest Accreditation Commission, formerly
the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. They recently changed their name due to a copyright
dispute.
The Northwest Accreditation
Commission is one of the nation's six acknowledged accreditation agencies. The
geographic territory of the Association consists of the states of Alaska, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and other worldwide geographical
areas designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
To look up our accreditation, you may do
either of the following:
1. Follow
this link to the
Northwest Accreditation Commission
website, click on School Search, and search for "Field stone academy." (the
space between Field and stone is required for their search) Due to their name
change, their site is still under construction.
2. To view the Utah State Office of
Education's list of accredited schools, you should follow the link below, and
scroll down to page 141. The State monitors and reviews each school to ensure
accreditation standards are met.

Is yours a
lock-down facility?
Of course not. Unlike institutions focused primarily on keeping young people
away from society, we focus instead on education and life experiences. Our
students are supervised while in school and during activities, but they are not
kept in a solitary or locked-down environment.
-
What is the
average length of enrollment at your school?
The average length of enrollment
is a nine-month school year. Some stay for multiple years, while others need
only a few months of help before they can return home.
-
Where is your
school located?
 Our
school is located in the city of Gunnison, Utah. Auxiliary locations are in
Richfield, Utah.
-
Will I be
allowed to contact my child while he is at your school?
Yes. The
simple fact is that you as a parent will have years of influence on your child
while we will only have your child with us for a small amount of time. Our
mission is to help your child with their educational needs, and without your
involvement and support we have a much smaller chance for success.
-
Who will know
that I have contacted you or have my child in your school?
Your privacy is very important to us. All
information either about you or your child will be kept confidential.
-
What should I do if I have more questions?
Please feel free to
contact us
at any time by email or at our toll-free number. Our helpful and friendly staff
would be glad to answer your questions.
