<p>Discovery Academy is a therapeutic boarding school located in the heart of Provo, Utah. Discovery serves teens ages 13-17. Our students are typically bright underachievers with emotional or behavioral problems that have resulted in struggles at home, in school, or in the community. These students may have trouble with substance abuse, behavioral problems, mood disorders, or learning difficulties. Discovery Academy is an excellent boarding school choice for teens that have failed in traditional boarding schools and/or are transitioning from other types of treatment programs, such as wilderness or intensive residential treatment programs. Discovery uses a single gender hybrid treatment model. Boys and girls have separate living and learning areas. They share some activities when their therapists feel it is clinically advantageous. Located in an urban environment, Discovery students have the opportunity to take university courses and even have part-time jobs while they are in treatment. Discovery Academy students have been accepted into some of the top colleges and universities in the country.</p> <h3>Specialties</h3> <p> Founded in 1989, Fully accredited academics, Licensed, experienced therapists, Urban living, learning and work environment </p>

Victory was founded in 2009 as a private, non-profit, year-round school for children affected by Autism. Victory's mission is to provide children affected by Autism with an integrated academic and therapeutic program (for example, art, augmentative and alternative communication, behavioral, music, occupational, social cognition, speech and language, targeted technology, and transitions) designed to address an individual's strengths and challenges. Victory believes that children affected by Autism have great ability to learn but recognizes that they often do not learn in typical ways. From Victory’s inception, there has been a commitment to hiring a highly qualified professional staff, to implement evidence-based best practices, and to be purposeful in developing a student centered curriculum framework. As a result, Victory offers year-round school, low student to teacher ratios (7:3), and innovative programs, designed to support learning differences and unlock the full potential of every child. Victory students now come from seven counties including Clackamas, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington, and Yamhill in Oregon and Clark in Washington State. Several families have moved from out of state to Oregon this year (coming from Nebraska, Washington, and Wisconsin) specifically to enroll their child at Victory. The National Center for Health Statistics reveals that Autism now affects 1 in 45 children. And according to Michael Rosanoff, the Director for Public Health Research at Autism Speaks: “This means that two percent of children in the U.S. are living with Autism”. Finally, the OHSU Brain Institute recognizes Autism as one of the most common developmental disorders — likely to affect over 10,000 Oregon youth. There is a critical need for resources, services, community involvement and supports. At Victory, we are committed to serving Oregon’s children affected by Autism, thus in turn, improving the lives of these kids, their families, and our communities.

Pathways is a School and Evaluation Center in Mesa, AZ. Our mission is to educate children with learning differences, attention deficits, and developmental delays to achieve their greatest potential.
