School Notes:
  • Like most college prep high schools, the Family Foundation School offers a challenging curriculum and a wide range of extracurricular activities. But as a therapeutic boarding school, we offer much, much more. We are based on the spiritual and moral principles provided by 12-Step programs. We have found that the 12 Steps work as a way of addressing many behavioral problems because they help students accept the responsibility for their own behavior. Our goal is to increase students' self-respect. We insist that our students achieve at a high level in school and in extracurricular activities. We offer only a college preparatory curriculum, and 100 percent of our graduates are accepted to post-secondary institutions. Our program provides appropriate individual and group counseling that addresses the problem behaviors and developmental issues of each individual student.
