Embracing and educating society's neglected kids
Program for Youth who are Expelled or in Foster Care
McAdams Academy is a behavioral program that uses a classroom format to deliver treatment. We accept kids who have been expelled, suspended long-term, or in foster care but are not attending school. We provide a safe and structured learning environment for kids who struggle with emotional and behavioral disorders. Post-pandemic data show a sharp increase in mental health issues, homelessness, and criminal activity for our nation's youth. Research indicates that keeping kids in a structured learning environment dramatically reduces their chances of being further impacted by these societal problems. Students receive seven hours of therapy each day while in our program as they continue their education through an accredited curriculum.
Our Mission Statement
Providing a safe place where vulnerable youth practice academic, emotional, and spiritual skills for thriving lives that affect families and communities.
