Therapeutic Boarding School in Utah for Boys

White River Academy:
White River Academy is an all boys boarding school for troubled teens ages 13-17 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. 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.
