The Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH) is a residential home providing Christian rehabilitation for troubled young men seeking an alternative to incarceration.
In 1977, the Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH) established its on-campus school: Paul Anderson High School.
The PAYH has recently become fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
We offer a wide range of classes and individualized tutoring to provide each student with academic options for their future.
With a curriculum that is tailored to each student, we seek to meet them where they are and challenge them for the future.
Continuing the mission set by Paul Anderson and his wife Glenda in
1961, the PAYH seeks to teach our young men that they are created
by God and have a special purpose in life. We believe that young
men with self-confidence and Christian character will become givers
rather than takers, assets rather than liabilities. The PAYH also
provides help for parents of troubled teenagers, through resources,
counseling, and referrals.
Our unique program is designed to develop each young man
spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially.
The daily curriculum combines Biblical teaching and academic
training in our accredited high school, while incorporating
physical fitness, emotional development, and social awareness while
instilling a strong work ethic.
Our staff provides over 245 combined years of experience
ministering and counseling young men and their families.
The PAYH specializes in character building, which is evident in our
over 90% success rate. The low recidivism rate of PAYH alumni is
attributed to our unique program as well as continued support from
the PAYH after graduation.
The PAYH is a Christian charity. To ensure the PAYH's Christian
foundation is not jeopardized, neither local, state, nor federal
funds are accepted. We depend on the support of individuals,
corporations, organizations, churches, and foundations who partner
with the PAYH to provide a second chance for the young men and
their families which are entrusted to this ministry.
We explore the key elements contributing to the success of leading private schools, highlighting the importance of strong leadership, a rich legacy, and a focus on comprehensive learning experiences.
