Reasonable tuition rates and shorter stays
Our rates are some of the most reasonable prices among boarding
schools that focus on behavior problems. We have very low overhead and
we pass the savings on to you. With such a small enrollment we are able to intensify your son's treatment which leads to a shorter stay and less money in the long run.
A very small enrollment
With only four students your son will receive invaluable one on one tutoring and counsel that can be given when they sit in the house
and when they walk by the way, when they lie down and when
they rise up. Again, with intensified counseling and mentoring your son will be away from home for less time, which means less cost for you.
Sheltered from negative influences
Younger boys like to emulate older teenage boys that they perceive
as being "cool". At Runnymede they are protected from the influences
of teens that could potentially corrupt their behavior even further.
A beautiful rural setting
Boys need forests, rivers, grass and streams to play in. Fishing, camping, exploring and building tree houses are powerful for
healing and Runnymede has all that a boy could want.
An Agrarian/farm lifestyle
Your son will milk cows, feed calves, raise chickens and turkeys,
collect eggs, feed pigs and goats, ride horses, grow fruit and vegetables and love every minute of it. All the meat (chicken, beef, pork and turkey) is raised and consumed at Runnymede.Your son will tend his own garden plot and learn all about organic farming.
Christian in name and practice
Your son will be taught about repentance and forgiveness, and that
there is hope which is only found in Christ. Sin will be called sin, not sickness. Your son will be encouraged to reconcile with those he has sinned against and taught that all sin is ultimately against God. Daily biblical counseling and weekly church attendance in a family centered church starts each week off with the proper emphasis.
Football
If you are interested in playing 11 man tackle football, all Runnymede students are eligible to play for the Springfield Christian Chargers football team. The Chargers are the three time national homeschool football champions and field junior high, junior varsity and varsity squads. Runnymede director, Bob Brandon, is a coach on the staff.
