The cost of sending your son to an alternative boarding school
is usually far less than sending him to a residential treatment center, and
unless he has criminal or drug-abuse problems, an alternative boarding school
will probably produce a more worthwhile result. We have parents tell us that we
are far less expensive than other programs they have seen in our state, but no
system that offers what we offer will be cheap by any means.
We
offer a limited number of scholarships each year based on need. None of our
scholarships pay for the full tuition costs, but they do often allow boys to
attend that would not have been able to otherwise. Please contact us for
information regarding eligibility.
Our boarding school accepts only male students at this time.
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 an alternative boarding school.

How is your school accredited?

Utah State Office of Education as an Accredited School.

Is yours a lock-down facility?
Of course not. Unlike institutions focused primarily on keeping young men
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 environment.
-
What is the average length
of enrollment at your school?
The average length of enrollment
is one 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
located 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 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.
