The John Dewey Academy

Matt — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:32:29 +0000

Our mission is to provide intensive, individualized instruction and therapy to alienated, angry, self-destructive, but bright adolescents. This approach inspires students to use, rather than to continue to abuse, their talents.

This vision is admittedly an ambitious one: we aim to restore hope, to rebuild families, and to transform students’ lives.

Founded in 1985 by Dr. Thomas E. Bratter, The John Dewey Academy is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Our most recent re-accreditation took place in 2003.

Accepts
Boys & Girls ages 13-17

Valley View School – Private Residential Treatment Facility

Matt — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:30:44 +0000

alley View School is a small, private, residential treatment facility providing a year-round therapeutic environment for boys between the ages of eleven and sixteen who are having difficulty coping with their family, the world around them, and themselves. While these boys are generally bright, healthy youngsters from a wide variety of family and geographic backgrounds, they all share a common experience — performing below their academic and social potential and behaving in a self-defeating manner.

Located a mile and a half from the rural, central Massachusetts town of North Brookfield, Valley View School provides an ideal setting for experiencing a wide variety of wholesome and stimulating activities. The property encompasses 215 acres of timberland and fields bordering the town reservoir. The main building, a completely remodeled farm structure dating back to the 1830s, contains comfortable single, double, and triple dormitory rooms, a large dining room, and several lounges and recreational areas. Other facilities of the school include two academic buildings, educational resource/computer center, and creative arts studio. Athletic facilities include a full court gymnasium and a multi-purpose athletic field. Most importantly, however, the school maintains a staff, equal in number to that of the students, to offer a comprehensive program integrating the range of services — educational, psychotherapeutic, medical, and recreational — necessary to achieve each youngster’s greatest individual potential.

Accepts
Boys ages 11-16
