If he's at Fieldstone Academy, the answer is this:

1. Catching up in school

We specialize in academic recovery. Our intense, personalized, fast-paced system allows young men to catch up in their schooling at an incredible rate. If your son has been failing classes and is falling behind, we can get him back on track so he can return to school with his friends in the fall. Or he will also have an opportunity to stay at Fieldstone for the school year.

2. Learning to succeed

The reason most of our students come to us is not because they are unintelligent. Usually they are bright young men who simply do not fit the system they are currently enrolled in. We work to find where their challenges are and teach them to overcome them so they can continue to succeed academically even after they leave us for college or their old school. This means that over the summer your son can not only get some work done, but become a better student for it!

3. Working on a full ranch

When they are not in classes, our students help a myriad of animals and livestock on our ranch. They will get the chance to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, etc. in a fun and exciting environment with our experienced staff members. There is no better environment for young men to learn work ethic and responsibility than on a ranch!

4. Learning fitness

As part of their education, our students will learn weight training in our full commercial gym. They will learn better exercise techniques and will also learn about the benefits of an active lifestyle. The more active they are outside the classroom, the better they are inside of it!

5. Earning a $5,000 scholarship

Students who successfully complete our summer quarters will be eligible to receive up to a $5,000 scholarship for the following school year's tuition at Fieldstone Academy. This scholarship opportunity comes at the insistence of our staff! We see students come and go every summer, and after creating those relationships and trust, we would like to have them stay! Our summer students are our first priority when awarding scholarships. Please contact us for details.
