Questions & Answers

What items should I send with my Child?
ERA provides all of the clothing for your child, including a warm coat. The only clothing item you need to send with you child is a pair of athletic type shoes. Your child will be provided all other items needed including clothing, bedding, towels, personal self care items, etc. All students are required to adhere to the dress code of Eagle Ranch Academy. Upon completion of the Program all clothing items return home with the child.

Are Scholarships available?
Yes. We have a unique Scholarship Program through a non-profit organization that help bring the cost of the Program down below the published rate, and helps make an upper level program more available to families. It is used to help encourage Parents to engage in the process, and truly commit to “helping us help you help your child.”

Will you provide assistance in securing funding or insurance money?
Yes. We have a full time Insurance Specialist who will be available to assist you in working with your Insurance Company; and we also have several lenders available to assist you in securing Educational Loans to help in funding the Program and spreading the cost over time.

What type of Students are enrolled at ERA?
Eagle Ranch Academy’s main focus is with Students struggling in different areas of their lives. Many of our Students have special talents in areas such as music, arts, academics, athletics, leadership, etc. but have gone down the wrong path because of the decisions they have made. All of our Students have special needs, but because of the individualized approach we take, and the complete assessment we provide prior to enrollment, we are able to maintain a very balanced Student population that provides for a real life like environment, and proves to be very healthy for all of our Students. Many of these Students will have an opportunity to be the leaders of tomorrow. Our Program is an intervention program, and is intended to be implemented before a child enters the judicial system, and although there are special situations when a child is released by the court to attend ERA, it is after careful consideration by our Review Team.

What involvement will the Parents have with the ERA Program?
We believe the role of the parent and family is essential in the overall long term success of the student. Thus, our philosophy of “helping the parent help their child” throughout the Program and into and beyond our important After Care Program. There will be weekly phone calls, including social calls from the student, individual therapy calls from the therapist, and family therapy calls from the therapist with the student and parents. We have a secured area on our website called the Parent Page, for you to monitor the progress of your child. An important part of our Program is the Emotional Growth Seminars and Work Shops for both students and parents.

How long can we expect our Child to be at ERA?
The time will vary depending on your child, but typically the usual length of stay is 6 to 10 months. Our goal is to help the child get healthy and home in the most timely way possible.


Is your academic program accredited?
Yes. We are in partnership with 3D Learn, a school that has been providing private education for 10 years, and in conjunction with them we have developed a totally individualized academic program with not only a national accreditation but also an international accreditation. Your child’s academic program is an important part of our overall program; and the credits earned at ERA will be transferable to any high school, college, or university in the country.


Does ERA have any religious affiliation?
No. ERA is nondenominational and not affiliated with any one religious sect. We do recognize each student's right to practice a religion of their choosing, and we do believe it is important to have some spiritual component in daily life. The practice of religious beliefs is on a voluntary basis and the withholding of this right as a disciplinary action is strictly forbidden. Students receive reflective time each day for spiritual growth and "Inspirational Services" are held each week on Sundays.

Why should we choose Eagle Ranch Academy and what sets us apart from the rest?
This is one of the most important questions you can ask. We have chosen to limit the number and types of students we allow in our program. We do not take students for the sake of taking them. We are not in the business to see how big we can get, and have made the decision to keep our numbers low. Your child will be set up on an individualized and structured program. The main focus of our behavior modification program is value based with an emphasis on responsibility and accountability. This is done through a thorough and effective goal setting program that will be implemented the moment your child enrolls. We have a great staff that have for many years committed themselves to working with the youth of today, and have put together a great program that will make a difference in the life of your child. We have staff that will take a personal interest in your child and know how to develop a trusting and caring relationship.
