White River Academy is a special troubled teen school because we use the powerful and proven postive peer culture system to teach teens accountability, responsibility, teamwork, self-reliance, and self-awareness.
Once a teen realizes how his or her actions affects others, change can begin.
Our school's students participate in emotional growth positive peer culture group sessions, self-esteem building, goal setting and goal review sessions.
Troubled youth may also participate in individual teen therapy as often as it is determined necessary.
