Discovery Academy All-Girl Therapeutic Boarding School Information:
Welcome to Discovery Academy
A therapeutic boarding school for troubled teens. For over two decades we have shared the pain and sorrow families endure with a troubled teen in the home. We understand how difficult it is to place a loved one in the
hands of another care giver.If you are the parent or loved one of a troubled teen, we can help. We’ve worked with hundreds of families and we understand how difficult it can be to love, and live with, a teen that often seems out of control.
Here are two questions you may want answered before you explore our site further:
What is Discovery Academy?
Discovery Academy is a therapeutic boarding school located in Provo, Utah. Situated in between the spectacular Wasatch Mountains to the east and Utah Lake to the west, a variety of outdoor educational and recreational opportunities are literally at our doorstep.
Discovery Academy serves students ages 13-17. We offer the best of both worlds - separate programs for boys and girls with opportunities for appropriate co-ed interaction. Our student body is limited to just 32 girls and 50 boys.
Our small school environment lets us create an atmosphere where every student is known and every need is addressed.
At Discovery Academy, academics, residential living, and therapeutics are all built on an experiential foundation. In each area, our students learn by doing. We focus on building relationships, respect and responsibility.
Using this model, we help students discover their true potential, rekindle their love for learning and prepare for post-high school educational opportunities.
What kind of student comes to Discovery Academy?
Many of our students are bright underachievers with behavioral and or emotional problems that have manifested themselves in school, at home and within the community.
Other Academy students have learning disabilities that require the one-on-one learning environment in which we specialize.
Many of our students have simply fallen into the wrong peer crowd and insist on blaming everyone but themselves for their problems.
The Academy is an excellent choice for teens that have failed in traditional boarding schools and/or are transitioning from other types of treatment programs, such as wilderness or intensive residential treatment programs.
