The first three to six months after enrollment are spent building relationships, working on therapeutic and academic skills remediation. We begin by assessing the student through the lens of our experience with at-risk youth, previous school reports, and psycho-educational testing reports as well as communication with the therapists and residential staff in our milieu. After a student has settled in and made some notable therapeutic progress, we then make our greatest academic progress.

Preparing students for graduation and transition

While we adhere to Utah state graduation requirements, we are also sensitive to setting our students up for the smoothest transition to a school near home or to college once they have completed their therapeutic goals.

Student demographics

Historically we have had students in the following Ethnic percentages:

Eighty-five percent Caucasian

>Six percent Asian

Five percent Hispanic

Two percent African American

Two percent Native American

Teachers and school staff trained to address student behavioral issues

Teachers and school staff are involved as part of a milieu to address the behavioral as well as academic issues of our students. As part of teaching at a therapeutic boarding school, the teachers are trained in the same behavioral management system as the therapists and residential staff. This translates to the teachers consistently addressing behaviors and mood inconsistencies that are beyond the academic realm but that affect the students’ abilities to succeed in a school setting.

We Accept Most Insurance Coverages

Cedar Ridge Academy works with many private insurance companies throughout the country and internationally to obtain payment of claims for mental health treatment. Our admissions counselors can verify your insurance benefits for mental health and substance abuse treatment for your child.

Verification of benefits is not a guarantee that they will cover treatment, but it is a good starting point in understanding what is available to you. Insurance companies commonly require their patients to have tried other levels of care, such as inpatient or intensive outpatient prior to being eligible for RTC admission and treatment.
