Our schools and programs are designed to facilitate the development of academic competency, outstanding integrity and personal character, emotional wellness, physical fitness, and positive choice-making for life. These results are achieved by providing young people with a number of powerful tools that lead to the development of self-worth and a realistic personal identity that accurately reflects their unique personality, skills, and abilities as well as their individual morals and ideals.
As students begin to rediscover (or discover for the first time) who they are, what they believe, and what they are capable of, a new sense of empowerment is born which will propel them down a new course toward a successful life. In short, we help adolescents to reach their highest potential through the process of self-discovery where we help them uncover the truth about themselves: That they have unlimited individual worth, that what they want most in life is only withheld from them by self-imposed limitations, and that they literally have the power to create their own destiny through the power of choice.
Unlike many other programs, such as teen boot-camps, we do not attempt to teach students mere compliance nor do we attempt to force students to change in our schools. We don’t want to train our students to do the right thing for the wrong reason, nor do we want to engage in power struggles with them. We strive to help youth find within themselves their pure and intrinsic motivations to live the life of a happy and contributing citizen. This is possible by delivering the tools necessary to act upon a new set of choices while providing an atmosphere that is conducive to and supportive of dramatic growth.
