I know a little about their sister school, owned by the same people, iirc, Academy at Swift River.

ASR completely isolates the teen from incoming and outgoing mail from friends and relatives.  I don't know about contact with the custodial parent.

ASR also had a kitchen employee talk to the press a few years back to the effect, iirc, that they were ordering him to prepare inadequate meals for the kids, were using sleep deprivation in mandatory marathon "rap sessions" to break the kids down, had staffers yelling obscenities at the kids.....

I don't know much about Aspen Achievment per se, but if you google Academy at Swift River you can read the article yourself.

What kind of info are you looking for? All I know right now is what's been posted in these forums (and even that, I'd have to look) But I'm fairly good w/ research. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll see if it's out there somewhere.

I have read a fair amount of stuff that indicates they are one of the programs to avoid.

Another web.

This 1994 article states that SUWS was acquired by College Health- operated both Mt. Bachelor Academy in Oregon and Aspen Achievement Academy in Utah from their inception.
http://www.strugglingteens.com/archives ... ews02.html

The 1998 Valley Advocate article reports that ASR's sister school is Mt Bachelor.
http://old.valleyadvocate.com/articles/swiftriver.html

1998 Elliot Sainer, pres of parent company College Health Enterprises formed a separate company, Aspen Youth Services (whose name was recently changed to Aspen Education Group
http://www.welcomemba.com/mbahistory.htm

1998 Aspen Youth Services operates 34 facilities
http://www.strugglingteens.com/archives ... ews03.html

Aspen Education Website- includes AAA, as well as ASR, Excel, Mt Bachelor, etc http://www.aspeneducation.com/Outdoor-edu.html

Direct lines can be drawn from CEDU to a number of emotional growth boarding schools in existence today. These programs were actually started by former associates of CEDU and Wasserman. Among these are the Cascade School, Mount Bachelor Academy, Hidden Lakes Academy, The King George School, and The Academy at Swift River.
http://www.cedu.com/about/index.shtml

1998 The BROWN SCHOOLS BUY CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CEDU
http://www.strugglingteens.com/archives ... ews05.html

CEDU is now owned by The Brown Schools. They operate or have at one time operated (together or separately): CEDU High, CEDU Middle, Cascade, Rocky Mountain Academy, Boulder Creek Academy, Northwest Academy, King George School, The Brown Schools, Academy at Swift River, Mount Bachelor Academy, Hidden Lake Academy, Family Foundation School, Excel Academy, Discovery Academy, Aspen Lodge, Oakley Academy, and the Ascent Wilderness Programs.

I think they're owned by the same company, but I could be wrong.
