Discovery Academy Reunites Families
Guest Blog
By Barbara Davis
Senior Admissions Coordinator
Are you struggling
with your son or daughter? Does it feel as though you are more and more
disconnected from them, their friends and the life they are currently living?
Are you concerned about their academics, friends, social media use and
appreciation for all you have done as a parent?
Many will say that this is simply the stages of adolescents. However,
you kinda know it’s more than that.
I would like to
reiterate that everything we do is to assist you in navigating this process. I
would encourage you to fill out the confidential online application located on
the website. This application process is specifically designed to help you
organize your thoughts, identify key high risk areas and facilitate a
productive and efficient conversation. Whether you enroll with us or choose
another route, having your history and information organized along with the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ) results, will be beneficial to your success.
As a reminder, we are
a Clinical Boarding School located just 20 short minutes down the canyon from
Robert Redford's Sundance resort. The goal of Discovery Academy is to align
the therapeutic and academic goals of your son or daughter in a personalized
manner. This means each student may have a different length of stay based on
the individual needs of the student and family. The minimum enrollment is six
months.
Discovery Academy
specializes in the following areas:
1. Discovery Academy
provides a unique and unparalleled academic system based on competency and
mastery of each subject.
2. The therapeutic
efforts are based on Experiential Therapy. Teens learn and internalize through
experience and therapeutic activities.
3. Discovery Academy
is uniquely licensed as a Residential Treatment Center and a fully accredited
Boarding School.
4. Benefiting from a
campus located in the heart of town, students learn and demonstrate executive
functioning skills, practice independence and enjoy "normal life
experiences."
5. We have an active
research component leading to constant improvement and successful outcomes with
an emphasis on research informed treatment.
6. We offer an
effective Transition / Next Step or After Care component so your child can
continue to succeed when they graduate the program.
