Formal Education
Tool #1: Education
The Academy of Eastern Arizona-Boarding school, located in Holbrook Arizona, is a Private Boarding School with Therapy that transfers all high school credits throughout the nation.
Through a complete Educational process that combines both "Formal Academics" and "Life Skills" education each child learns the tools necessary to live a successful and fulfilling life. They learn to take pride in their accomplishments and they learn to work with others in home, workplace, classroom and community settings.
Formal Academics
During the orientation period of the child's stay they will be assessed and assigned an IEP (Individual Education Plan). Each child's IEP is tailored to their specific needs of Education. Assessment includes review of school records, therapeutic assessments, personal interviews and input from parents and family counselors. The student's educational and career goals are taken into consideration where appropriate.
A state accredited teacher is assigned to work one-on-one with the troubled teen girl, to accomplish the goals set out in their IEP. Course completion is based on mastery of course objectives rather than "seat time". By working with the teacher in a one-on-one setting the student is able to "make up for lost time" due to lack of performance in their prior Educational setting and students are able to graduate and attend local formal graduation ceremonies receiving their High School Diploma. Curriculum includes Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Language Arts, as well as a variety of other core and elective course subjects. Because we utilize a one-on-one student/teacher setting, each Troubled Teen Girl can begin their course studies immediately upon enrollment in our program.
Life Skills
Learning Life Skills and developing a healthy work ethic is vital to the child's progress in the program as well as being necessary for the child to be successful later in Life. This is a huge Therapeutic Component to the program that allows the girls to learn something new. As part of their Life Skills Education each child is given instruction in many areas.
