Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy
Highlands Preparatory School
DEE:
This is hardly what many of us had hoped for, but it is in some ways a victory. There's no mention of counseling or therapy, so little Bucchi won't have as much opportunity to mess with already vulnerable minds; and while the tuition isn't cheap, it's less than half of what he was charging a few years ago, so he'll need to more than double the enrollment from the haydays of the early 2000's. That'll be a good trick. My guess is Ridge Creek will soon dissolve and become the "adventure" component of Highland's, and if that happens most vestiges of Hidden Lake Academy will be gone, leaving only bad, and in many cases horrible, memories for those who were sent there. His greed and dishonesty have ended up costing him well over $10 million, and I imagine he kicks himself in his tubby ass, when Chris Grimwood isn't in there, for refusing to refund the tuition of a certain lady who posts here quite often. Good job, Baby.

I thought this was interesting so I called University of Nebraska... they do not show Highlands Preparatory School as participating in their program, which I take to mean PARENTS would have to pay for these on-line courses and it's not part of the tuition. Also I asked about the statement "taught by university level instructors" and what that meant. University level, as defined by UNL, is at least a Bachelor's Degree and they students only get their work graded - their is no interactive lecture or class time.
Highlands Prep will provide the outstanding student with multiple paths to achievement beyond the classroom and grade level. Challenging accelerated honors courses along with access to on-line, accredited college courses through the University of Nebraska, taught by university level instructors, facilitated by HP faculty, will provide valuable credit toward a college degree. SAT courses will be built into the curriculum and Highlands Prep will also feature a Learning Center to accommodate students requiring additional support in a given subject.

Twitter: RIdge Creek School Ed con says "RCS is Highlands Prep"... If Buccellato is giving up the THERAPEUTIC aspect come FALL 2011, that is POSITIVE, yes?
BUT, a big BUT it is not in his nature to accept defeat. Unless he sees this as a comeback. And we all know, all to well, what is behind the facade.
"Emma Willard" certainly won't be losing prospective students to Highlands Prep.

OK, I have to ask...Two of you commented about Chris Grimwood being "behind" Len or "in" Len. Are you saying Chris has been sleeping with Len? That wouldn't be a surprise based on Len's previous proclivities with male staff.
RCS certainly has bombed out. That shithole is cratered before it ever gets off the ground in any real way. Undoubtedly due to the dogged determination of a select few here.
Now, the focus must shift to the new facility. If it turns out to be "academics only" I'd be really surprised because the fake therapy angle is what generates the cashflow - lots of billables.
In any case, let's dig in and make sure the public knows who's behind the new facility so they can make informed decisions about where to send their kids to "school".
