We are a Boys Boarding School located near Walnut Grove, Missouri. As a Christian boarding school for boys aged 9-16 we focus on personalized counseling, discipling, and mentoring while living on a working farm. Our goal is to provide the structure and discipline that will help your son "put off" bad habits and behaviors, while they "put on" new productive, Godly behaviors.
Our unique environment provides a setting where every experience and practice guide in changing bad habits and, with God's help, renewing their minds. We are dedicated to providing a safe, Christian, and family atmosphere that will encourage and train struggling boys to be the Godly young men that parents, churches and communities can be proud of. Our goal is to provide early intervention and prevention to help struggling boys reach their full potential and to become well-rounded Christian young men.
Our “waiting list curriculum” gives you special pointers and tips on how to prepare your son for our school. We will send you a weekly email for 7 weeks with articles, suggestions, training tips and encouragement for you and your son to work on together. Join our waiting list and receive insight on topics such as:
Young boys attending Runnymede receive invaluable one-on-one tutoring and counsel throughout each day, not just in a once or twice a week clinical setting. Our counselors live with the struggling boys.
The boys at Runnymede are protected from the influences of their peers who may be affecting their behavior, while they also learn from our counseling and life skills training.
Runnymede school residents learn how to milk cows, feed calves, raise chickens and turkeys, collect eggs, feed pigs and goats, ride horses, grow fruit and vegetables and they'll love every minute of it.
Runnymede Boys Home offers reasonable rates as compared to other boarding schools that focus on behavior problems. We have very low overhead. Keeping to small enrollment we are able to intensify counseling and therapy.

Boys come to the low cost boarding school from Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Minnesota, Montana and Kentucky.
