Open Quote Great school! My son loves this school, and his personality has been dramatically changed for the better. I'd like to add that our family is not religious, but we respect judeo-christian ethics and traditions. Close Quote

Open Quote Being at Wolf Creek Academy changed me a lot. I got into such bad stuff making poor choices at home. This program taught me that I don't need that to be happy. I found God and I've learned that He loves me very much. I've learned to accept myself and to love myself for who I am. Close Quote

Open Quote Our daughter came to us one night with a desperate look in her eyes, and we knew we needed to get help. We searched long and hard before sending her to Wolf Creek Academy. At the first parent weekend, I knew as soon as I saw her that it was worth it all. The expression on her face was the most peaceful I have seen her look in a long time. We feel hope again. We are so thankful for Wolf Creek Academy Close Quote

Open Quote It was so hard to send my son away, but I knew it was the best thing to do. Wolf Creek Academy held my hand through the whole thing. They always told me what was going on. They even gave me other parents to talk to who had been through it before. And most of all, I knew they were loving my son and taking excellent care of him. Close Quote

Open Quote I can’t say enough about how Wolf Creek Academy changed my son. He is confident and respectful, and we trust each other again. He can enjoy her senior year of high school, having fun like a teenager should. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is not just a school, it is a place where teenagers are able to meet other teens who are faced with similar issues. It is, in my opinion, one of the main reasons this program is sucessful. The staff are very loving and treat students with such care. They combine therapy with academics but also spend a good amount of time with them, really building a relationship with them. The focus is genuinely on the family as a whole, not just the students. As a father, I cannot place enough emphasis on the strength within a family. Wolf Creek Academy works together with the family to restore and rehabilitate. Close Quote

Open Quote I first heard of Wolf Creek Academy from my mother. She informed me if I did not straighten up I would be attending Wolf Creek Academy. My Immediate thought was she would not be able to force me to go and that would be the end of it. I was surprised to find transporters at my door telling me I had to come with them. I had no choice but to go with them. I proceeded to not talk to my parents for a month or so.

About three months into my stay change began to take place. I came to recognize that living my life for the moment was a never ending downward spiral. I also had a lot of issues with anger. I began to confide and talk openly with my therapist and house parents. After 5 months things really began to start looking up for me. I made the personal decision to leave the defiance, robbery, and drugs in the past. The realization that I could make a new start in my life brought about a spark in me and suddenly I grasped my life was just about to get better!

Since then, my relationship with my parents is better than ever. I am graduating high school and planning to attend college in the fall. I have taken control of my life and am thankful I have been able to participate in this program. I can't begin to imagine where I would be had I not gone through this program at Wolf Creek Academy. I keep in touch with many of the staff members over facebook and plan to do so on into the future. They helped me tremendously over my stay and are people I will remember the rest of my life.

Sincerely,
Andrew Stockett

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
