Boulder Creek Academy: Parents Speak

Parents Speak

To help support you in building a future for your troubled teen, and so you can better understand Boulder Creek Academy, parents wrote these letters:

After years of teasing and isolation, Molly and Blair's son was depressed and sick. While sending him to BCA was a devastating challenge, the results have been worth it. They found a place of nurture and wisdom which led their boy back to self-confidence and personal power. Click here for their letter.

Gail and Albert's daughter started testing limits at two years of age and kept testing up 'till 15. In her sophmore year, the combination of depression, acting out, and struggling for solutions was spiraling out of control. Now in her second year at BCA, their daughter is back on her feet and ready to continue living and growing. Click here for more.

This mother’s son believed he was "intellectually handicapped" and this belief filled him with hopelessness. Read the letter the mother sent to us upon his acceptance to college.

What Parents Are Saying
"I continue to be impressed by how my child's individual needs are met. The staff at Boulder Creek Academy work to discover areas in need of specific attention and then design a plan to meet those needs. The therapeutic milieu the school employs is truly effective. My child is learning and growing in ways I never thought possible until now."
- Parent from New Jersey

"The amount of support that Boulder Creek Academy provides for the whole family is one of the most impressive things about the program. This holistic approach, which involves us and our child doing our own independent work and also working in sessions as a family, will help the healing process. We will come back together as a different, but stronger, more healthier family."
- Parent from Tampa, Florida

"We found it incredibly hard to drop off our daughter and leave her in a place 3,000 miles from our home. But as we have moved through the first six months of the program with our daughter, we know she is safe, and in a place where she can find the truly beautiful person we know she is. The staff that we have met are incredible--committed, caring, compassionate and steady. We are feel we gave our daughter and us a great gift that will remain with her throughout her lifetime."
- Parent from Tampa, Florida

"We feel BCA saved our son's life. Joe is now at basic training for the US Navy, then is off to submarine school."
- Parent from Lagunitas, California
