What Makes Our School Unique?

  • Focused one-on-one counseling and mentoring
  • Small enrollment means more attention on each boy
  • Struggling boys sheltered from negative influences/peers
  • A beautiful rural agrarian setting
  • A back-to-basics ranch lifestyle
  • Christian in name and practice
  • Lower cost than most therapeutic schools

Ranch Lifestyle

Your son will milk cows, feed calves, raise chickens and turkeys, collect eggs, feed pigs and goats, ride horses and tractors, and love every minute of it. The boys in our boys home tend their own garden plot and learn all about organic farming and taking care and responsibility for animals on the ranch. This agrarian lifestyle teaches responsibility, trust, and teamwork, and gives focus on God and His creation.
