5. During the period of candidacy, the school must take sufficient action to meet the Standards for Accreditation, engage in a satisfactory continuous school improvement process, submit an annual accreditation application, and pay annual dues. [Yes, don't forget those union dues!!]"







Are these annual applications available to the public?"




Can anyone answer this?  If they're not available, is it public info as to whether or not they've at least filed them?  Would the whole application file be public record?"


call SACS and let us know.

I will if I have to but I figure there's enough industry people here on both sides of the issue that could answer.

Is it true that Carlbrook advertises itself as an academics only school?"


No must be someone else.  I had a daughter who attended ASR,  I really cant answer any questions specific to Carlbrook.  Heard it is not a bad place though.
Havent read any posts here so I really cant comment right now.

I had a child at Carlbrook.  If you look on their website (www.carlbrook.org) they describe the school as an academically challenging environment with an emotional growth element.  That's exactly what they offer.

But they're licensed for neither, correct?

yeah, I think it's a completely relevant and incredibly valid point.  Bait and switch to get around regulations or licensure issues for both!  How convenient!

They are in the 7-10 year accreditation cycle.  I refuse to argue that academic accreditation issue anymore, that's been covered.  

Frankly, I could care less about licensing as long as there is no abuse and in the four years of Carlbrook's history there's not been a complaint.

They have a Psychiatrist from Duke University that treats any of the kids needing meds on a private basis.  He visits the campus very regularly and is available by phone to the parents. The advisors (therapists)are well trained and were helpful and accountable.

Really, there are some really bad schools out there that deserve to be exposed and shut down.  Carlbrook is not one of them.  

You ask for personal experience---I've got it but not going to beat a dead horse on this thread.

I'm not touting anything.  It's on the website.  I keep reading here that Carlbrook has no professional staff, is unable to help kids, and just because they haven't jumped through bureaucratic hoops in a very short period of time that it is not a good place.  I'm just saying, from my expreience, it is.

Oh, lighten up.  It was a joke.  With the scandal going on at Duke I was trying to make a funny.  Guess I failed.
