Therapeutic Boarding School

Teen therapeutic boarding schools are boarding schools that offer youth educational programs together with specialized structures and supervision for the troubled teenager with emotional and behavioral problems, substance abuse problems, or learning difficulties. Since the 1970s, dozens of teen therapeutic boarding schools have been established to aid the troubled teenager. Cedar Ridge is a licensed and accredited teen therapeutic boarding school that has been helping troubled teenagers and their families change their lives since 1996. Cedar Ridge Therapeutic School provides a powerful catalyst for change through:

• Therapeutic Teen Milieu
• Traditional Karate Training
• College-Ready Academics
• Building Individual, Family, and Peer Relationships

Here at Cedar Ridge, the focus is on teen emotional and academic recovery, involving structure and supervision for your troubled teenager's physical, emotional, behavioral , family, social, intellectual and academic development. On average, troubled youth are enrolled in Cedar Ridge for fifteen months. The specific length of stay for youth who enroll depends on therapeutic factors and the goals set by themselves and their families. We encourage families of our youths to support their troubled teenager in their program and high school graduation efforts to enable their son or daughter the greatest chance of a quality lifestyle after treatment.
