Contact Page - Boarding School for Troubled Teens in Utah
 White River Academy is an all boys boarding school for troubled teens, 13 to 17 years old, located located in Delta, Utah, which is a small farming community about 2 ½ hours from Salt Lake City. We are a small family oriented campus, and are able to spend more time with each student and make sure their problems do not go un-noticed. We offer a 60 day or a 90 Day Wake up Call Program in which the child participates in a rigorous daily schedule consisting of emotional growth, Positive Peer Culture group sessions, self-esteem building, goal setting and goal review sessions, service projects, daily chores, life skills and independent living such as cooking and cleaning. Students may also participate in Individual Therapy at an additional cost. Accredited Academics are not offered in the short term wake up call programs, but students are in class six days a week so as to sharpen academic skills in many of the basic courses like Math, Science, English, History and more.
Our goal is to offer an opportunity where the family as a whole can participate in assisting their loved one to accomplish the goals that have been established within the program. In addition, parents and siblings are provided with the necessary skills to provide a constant support for that child upon graduation from the program. This is accomplished by offering a series of seminars that focus on issues that need to be addressed in the home such as: honesty, trust, self- esteem, accountability, responsibility, anger management, communication, service, sacrifice, forgiveness, and love. These seminars are interactive and provide an environment wherein the healing process of the family can be accomplished.
The credentials of the staff include: Licensed Therapist, LPC., and Certified Secondary Education Teachers, Contracted General Physician, Contracted Dietitian.
ProgramsWhite River Academy utilizes an independent teen study curriculum that covers courses six through twelve as well as college and GED preparation. Our special focus is on helping troubled teens by using the Positive Peer Culture Model.

Long Term Program - Results Based Program: White River Academy Boarding School's most popular option is the long term program. It is based on results so each student must complete four stages of morality in order to graduate from the program. Priveleges are granted as the student completes study goals, participates in activities and behaves well. The long term program includes academics, health and individual counseling therapy, family support, self esteem building, Positive Peer Culture, and recreation therapy.
