No offense to the parents who have or sent kids to this school, but in my mind, it makes no sense to spend so much money on an education that may or not even be efficient (are there accredited teachers on property??).  Second, the "religious" component to this school (or is it a program??) is troublesome in that it appears the owners are Mormon.  Do non-Mormon kids have a choice to worship at the church of THEIR faith?  Is going to church actually in the "agreement" or is it strictly voluntary?

Either way, it seems to me if parents are sending their kids to this boarding school to get an education and spending this kind of money, their kids should be getting a FIRST-CLASS education.

Is that the case?  Is this a first-class education?

No on the accedited teachers: Cheryl Sudweeks and her husband Mark are listed as "teachers" on the Staff Page, and neither are certified teachers. Think Cheryl Sudweeks graduated from High School.  Also listed are the Sudweeks's daughters, Trinity, Shayla, Laysea, and a so-called-adopted-daughter (who is not actually adopted, either), Darlene: NONE of these girls are certified teachers either. Laysea is age 18. The signed contract states that Trinity is trained by Monty Robert, The Horse Whisperer--but this is NOT TRUE, either...but it "sounded good at the time," right? Also, listed on STAFF is Mark's elderly mother, Venice.  The other two on the STAFF Page are Verne: Carpentry Skills, and Ben: Martial Arts.  Hardly sounds like a quality Academics Boarding School with high expectations for the students.

The students have no choice about attending the Mormon Church.  They are punished if they do not attend, even if they are sick. When enrolled, the parents are told that the kids can go to any church they choose in Nephi; but that is not how it is in reality.

That's too bad about your diploma and transcript.  Why are there problems with them? The Whitmore advertises that it is "fully accredited."  Shouldn't that make the transcripts valid? Are some students presenting their transcripts to colleges and having them rejected?  It has been posted on this forum that the Sudweeks are being investigated for "fraud." Could this be one of the reasons why?

Former Student: If Bernie Farrow is conducting individual therapy sessions with the students at Whitmore Academy, then why would Mark Sudweeks state in the TRIBUNE newspaper that "we are out of the teen help business?"  How would the Sudweeks expect to get parents to enroll their kids if the Sudweeks say publicly that they DO NOT OFFER THERAPY?  The Sudweeks announced publicly that the Whitmore is an "Academics Only Boarding School."  So, where would their students who need therapy come from?

Former student, do you stay in contact with the Sudweeks since you left Whitmore? What do they say about the criminal trial?

Understand the Suds are back with the kiddos from Canada. Maybe the criminal trial will get back on track?

That is a shame, that your parents paid tons of money for you to be at a "school that offered therapy," and you had to "fake you way through a program" because the OWNER, School DIRECTOR was viewed as a "stuck up, selfish bitch."  What did your parents think about wasting so much money?
What were some of the "RULES" you had to play by to get through your time at the Whitmore?

Why have the former students stopped posting. Anything to do with the Sudweeks returning from Canada?
