Is Your Child Struggling Through Another Unsuccessful Semester? At Oregon's Premier Therapeutic Residential Programs, It's Never Too Late to Succeed
By Hugh C. McBride
The new year started with the promise of a new beginning – and promises from your child that this semester was finally going to be the one in which results measured up to expectations. But as holiday resolutions receded and old frustrations returned to the forefront it became clear that once again, another academic term was heading toward a less-than-successful conclusion.
The good news is that failure doesn’t have to be a foregone conclusion. Thanks to the innovative efforts of some of the nation’s leading therapeutic boarding schools, it’s never too late in the school year for your child to turn things around.
So, before you and your child resign yourselves to yet another year of academic underperformance, read on to discover the ways in which your teen can salvage success today, and plot a path toward an achievement-rich future.
Improving Students’ Outlooks, Abilities
If your child is struggling with problems related to poor behavior, academic difficulties, or substance abuse, you know that even the best of intentions don’t necessarily translate into better results. Adding to your dilemma is the unfortunate fact that many local school districts are unprepared to address the complex issues that many adolescents and their families are facing today.
But over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the education and rehabilitation of young people whose problems once threatened to overwhelm their lives and tear apart their families. Educational experts and therapeutic professionals across the nation have designed a number of innovative programs to help troubled teens overcome their struggles and achieve more than they ever believed possible.
In central Oregon alone, the Aspen Education Group offers four unique residential programs designed to meet the needs of young people for whom traditional educational environments have proved to be less than effective.
New Leaf Academy – A Nurturing Environment for Struggling Girls
New Leaf Academy is an all-girls private school that is designed for girls ages 10 to 14 who need extra guidance, nurturing, and personal attention in their academic and personal lives.
At New Leaf Academy’s central Oregon campus, girls who once struggled with even the most fundamental academic challenges find themselves on the path to scholastic success. And those whose social or emotional struggles limited their ability to form meaningful relationships discover the joys and rewards of making positive contributions to their “family” of peers.
In short, girls who previously thought that success was something only other students experienced learn that they are capable of setting high expectations for themselves and achieving far more than they’d ever thought possible.

NorthStar Center gives young adults between the ages of 17.6 and 24 the opportunity to transform their lives. Its recovery, responsibility, and recreation programs challenge students to think for themselves and, as a result, NorthStar graduates know who they are, what they stand for, and where they are going as they transition into successful, healthy, and active adulthood.
The likelihood that a young adult will succeed at NorthStar is based upon a number of factors that are best evaluated during a consultation with a program admissions counselor. In general, though, the program is designed to benefit students who possess the following traits:
- Have a need for structured living and recovery support, but are dedicated to working toward self-reliance and productive independence.
- Need help in making the transition from a therapeutic boarding school, treatment facility, or wilderness program.
- Are motivated to work toward continued recovery, and are willing to receive professional assistance as needed.
- Can use extra academic support with high school, GED-related, or college studies, but recognize the value of education and have the desire to improve themselves.
For individuals at the threshold of adulthood who need the continued support that can make the difference between lifelong frustration and a productive future, NorthStar Center’s innovative program may provide the answers they have been searching for.
