Therapeutic Boarding Schools

Therapeutic boarding schools for troubled teens offer the benefits of a residential teen behavior modification program with a plus – they attempt to address your child’s emotional and social problems. Instead of focusing simply on behavior modification, these schools attempt to address the underlying emotional issues that are causing the behavioral problems. Therapy is often focused on helping your child identify the causes of his or her anger, frustration, or emotional distress and understand how these issues are leading to destructive behavior. Once children are able to identify their emotional issues, they can then learn to effectively cope with them. Therapy may be provided on a daily, weekly, or as-needed basis. Boarding schools for troubled teens can benefit students by producing long term results in the child’s life. These types of organization are commonly referred to as a boy’s home for troubled teens or girl’s home for troubled teens.

Accendo Academy is a therapeutic boarding school with a Christian focus. We are an excellent choice for parents who believe that the cause of their child’s behavioral issues may have a spiritual component. Accendo differs from secular therapeutic boarding schools in that we focus more on providing a child with a solid, home-like environment with constant exposure to Christianity. Where a secular program may help a child identify his or her underlying emotional issues, we endeavor to approach the issues from a Christian perspective. Our desire is to help your child make changes that last long after his stay with us has ended.
