Our Mission Statement:  "Our Goal is to Help You Help Your Child"

Eagle Ranch Academy is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of troubled teens. Our purpose is to affect the lives of young men and women and their families in a way that creates an attitude of giving rather than taking, and provides a solid foundation for a productive and fulfilling life.

Our focus is on troubled teens struggling with issues, but with talents and abilities. We believe these young people will someday make significant contributions to themselves, their families, and to our communities. All they need is to get back on track with their lives, and once again begin to enjoy their youth with their families and good friends, and have the opportunity to maximize their talents.

Eagle Ranch Academy is a program that helps each student gain the necessary skills and tools to become a productive, happy and successful person. We are a choice based program in which we teach and emphasize eight basic core values. We believe in using natural and logical consequences. WE TEACH STUDENTS TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Thus, we are different from the “Behavior Modification” programs.
