this is weird, this place is just opened?  It seems like it's very close to the Provo Cayon School...  What parent would send their kid to a place that just opened?  Maybe to handle the overload from Provo?

In the interest of transparency/authenticity, they should call this place Willow Creek Psychiatric Facility/Hospital, given that their ?primary? purpose is to dx and treat mental disorder as defined by the DSM IV, and academics are secondary- a mandatory requirement for any child caring institution that warehouses kids 24/7/365.

This fraud, slight of hand, serves at least three obvious purposes:
1) parents can avoid the embarrassment associated with having to admit their kid is in a psych hospital- they are away at a prestigious boarding school...
2) by classifying themselves as a 'school' the facility can avoid proper licensing and more stringent oversight that would be required of a psych facility
3) and parents can be reimbursed by their school district and/or insurance and write off expenses associated with the treatment of their ?disabled? child.

What a clever scam they?re running. And the bottom line- they?re all getting paid handsomely for parenting other people?s kids with their respective methods of modifying behavior.
