1. Turning Winds Academic Institute (TWAI)
Courses / Programs
If your teenage son or daughter is struggling with issues such as poor academic performance, behavioral problems, or addiction, Turning Winds Academic Institute (TWAI) may be the solution.

Established in 2002, TWAI is an accredited, family-run, therapeutic boarding school in Montana for troubled teens ages 13-18 from Rhode Island and across the U.S.

On our serene and safe 150 acre campus, we combine the benefits of a therapeutic boarding school, a wilderness program, and a residential treatment center (RTC).

We provide an extremely high standard of care for our students and their families, and offer help for the following issues: academic underachievement; learning disabilities; behavioral problems, addictions, low self-worth, spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD, and attachment disorders among others.

With a student to staff ratio is 5:1, our clinical, educational, and operations staff are among the best in the country.

We are a small program (40 students) which means that we are able to provide a truly unique and customized approach for every student.

We create a customized program for each student that requires a minimum of 3 months. However, best results for lasting success are realized through 6+ months of treatment. The average stay at our residential treatment center is 12 months.
