<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>
Aspen Achievement Academy is a licensed treatment program that integrates an accredited academic component, a sophisticated therapeutic model, and an experiential education curriculum in a healing wilderness environment.
The Academy creates a modern “rite of passage” designed to assist adolescents in making the transition to responsible young adulthood. It guides each participant through a series of powerful metaphors that symbolize stages of growth, provide deeper insight towards developing self-reliance, and generate a sense responsibility for self and community. Aspen’s clinical focus is on insight-oriented therapy, rather than behavior modification. The model helps our students gain awareness of their emotional and behavior habits. This unique, nurturing approach allows our students to address individual issues, become engaged in their personal success, and begin the process of bringing their families back together.
