“COLIN” came to us through
a smaller New England boarding school. He had been dismissed due to breaking
their zero tolerance policy regarding drugs. Once it was discerned by
both the educational consultant and ourselves that the drugs were not
the main issue, he joined us to finish his junior year. Colin has always
looked a bit different, and was not able to be himself at his old school.
He was chastised by other students, and categorized by the teachers. These
facts, combined with his poor grades, really destroyed his self esteem. After a year
with us, Colin is now thriving at a more traditional boarding school finishing
his senior year.
“ROY” came to us as a senior from
a private boarding school via a wilderness program and an educational
consultant. Although he tested quite high on all intelligence tests, he
was bored by school and therefore was not successful. His recently separated
parents said that he had always been a good student but in the past year
his grades had fallen dramatically. Once he joined us, Roy was able to
focus on himself and realize that a high school education is important.
He was with us for his senior year and is currently enrolled in a four-year
college.
