Academy at Swift River - Academic "Credits" Don't Transfer

--- 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.

--- 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

Yes. And when that happens, Whooter goes on the rampage to protect his income from Aspen. I posted a parent's experience with a link just a few posts back that stated the kid's credits wouldn't transfer, which has been reported many times by many people here and other places.
I see "he got his education" (no mention of credits) and I see "he gets structure in academics" (no mention of creduts) and Whooter himself admitted his daughter had to repeat a grade after ASR. Why he tries to sweep this under the rug when he already admitted it took her (or is it him, not sure anymore) five years to graduate high school. I didn't say this. Whooter did. Maybe you should ask him about it.
SUCK IT:
How much did you get paid every month to abuse kids?
