Academy at Swift River - Academic "Credits" Don't Transfer
Troll Control:
I'm not sure what that has to do with the poor kid flunking a grade. Every kid who goes to ASR finds out later - too late - that they will have to repeat a year.
Whooter, which year did your kid repeat? 10th or 11th grade?

--- Quote from: "Another ASR Parent" ---I know it's hard to choose a school or program when your kid is in a crisis and you don't see any other alternative. You kind of have to go on your gut feeling, after doing all the checking and questioning possible. ASR wasn't perfect, but I believe they save our son's life. Overall we were pleased, ... Read more but there were some things we wish had gone smoother. He got his education, lots of therapy, both private and group, learned how to get along with others and had many experiences unique to ASR. Plus there were many recreational and other non-curricular activities. He clearly needed to be there for at least 14 months. The staff was terrific and communication mostly good. We were very involved in the therapuetic process[/b][/size]

One of the strengths of these programs is that they involve the parents in the process with their children. This helps to solidify the changes and help the parents and kids work together towards a more unified goal vs having the parents and kids work on separate issues.

Simple question. You said your kid required five years to graduate HS after attending ASR. Which grade was repeated?

--- Quote from: "Another ASR Parent" ---Our son left wilderness needing a structured program. In the three months he has been at ASR, he has made quick and consistent progress. Communication with his therapist is great and she shows a total concern for his well being. The structure he gets is also in his academics. He is also thriving ... Read more in school and will graduate high school on time. ASR is not for everychild and many do not thrive at ASR because of individual situations. The professional staff at ASR are best to evaluate a child and determine whether or not ASR is a good fit. The strive to make sure all students belong at their school and do not accept a child they feel they can't help. I am glad that ASR was there for my son

I think this is a good find, DJ,, shows that the academics are one of ASR's strengths. Although like any other boarding school you need to find out up front if the credits will transfer back to your childs state or not. Every district is different.

"Academics are one of ASR's strengths"? Are you kidding? Every kid who goes there repeats the grade, like yours did.
You always defended this by saying "academics aren't a concern when kids are at risk" but now you're saying kids flunking grades due to unaccredited academics is a strength. You've got a few screws loose, IMO.
Your kid flunked a grade and had to repeat it. Explain how that is a "strength" so everyone can understand this Orwellian concept.
