SEASIDE ACADEMY in MEXICO
More Information on SEASIDE ACADEMY
Seaside Academy is a specialty boarding school located just a little over 20 miles south of San Diego, California, near the seaport town of Rosarita, Mexico. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and conducive to change. Seaside Academy is specifically designed to help teens develop character and life-changing habits while at the same time, giving them an opportunity to excell academically. The location of Seaside Academy offers the benefits of a foreign site, with easy access to the U.S. At Seaside Academy, students are enriched by a unique cultural experience in Mexico's warm, simple surroundings. Students also learn Spanish, which further enhances the process of change.
Seaside Academy provides a highly effective learning environment for teens who are struggling in their home, school, or community. Information about Seaside Academy
The benefits of a foreign site are numerous. The teens enter a new environment, away from the negative friends and influences that have adversely affected their lives. This helps the teens to be much more teachable and open to change and direction. Also, a foreign experience helps broaden the teen's insight, awareness and perspective. amd at the same time, instills a greater appreciation for home and family. Additionally, due to the greater value of the U.S. dollar in Mexico, the Academy can provide its services at a significant reduction of cost to families. All of these reasons make Mexico an excellent option for teens needing to make changes in their lives.
Academics:
Seaside Academy has an extremely progressive academic program. The curriculum allows students to work at their own pace and maximize the learning process. The students are tutored by a teacher and in some cases, it is possible to complete courses on an accelerated basis. Each student is assessed upon admission and then assisted in designing their specific course of study.
Recreation:
Activities provide a proper balance of recreation, exercise, learning, personal development and social opportunities. Initially all activities are on grounds. Over a period of time teens may earn the privilege of participating in off campus activities; which could include sight-seeing, water sports, beach outings, and cultural events, etc. Mexico is well suited for these types of experiences.
Personal Development Courses
Emotional Growth and Personal Development Courses are an important part of the overall experience at Seaside Academy. These courses utilize resources such as: professional audio & video tapes, selective reading material, special workshops and group feedback sessions.

Looks like it's still under construction. They'll probably start taking in new prisoners soon, if they haven't already.

Is this really WWASPS? Don't those fuckclowns have slicker websites with this (and the utterly laughable parenthotline.net), or did their webmaster bail out on them?
On an extremely disturbing note, google for "Seaside Academy" and see what else comes up, other than Carlsbad. Why yes, I am imagining a teenager playing on the Internet about being in a pleasant fantasy of a boarding school, and then being "escorted" to some Mexican hellhole by the same name that very night.
It's a wonder I can sleep at all...

Is this really WWASPS?
I'm not sure yet, but the fact that they're using a WWASP marketing text-- word by word-- is not a good sign at all. Neither is that Ensenada, where Casa was located, and Rosarita are extremely close to one another.

Gotta start somewhere. The website for Horizon looked kinda nasty too before they got to work on it.

Looks pretty WWASP to me
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Le ... otline.net (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Lezlee@ParentHotline.net)
Lezlee also promotes: Ivy Ridge, TB, Spring Creek, Carolina Springs, Cross Creek, Royal Gorge (Peak?), Horizon Academy, and many more.
Thought that name sounded familiar.

I heard rumors on the anti-wwasp.tk board that Casa was back up and running again with another name. This is horrible. The kids who went to casa had one of the worst wwasps experiences imaginable, that place was a pure shithole that tortured kids using third world people who loved to take out their anger on american kids. This is a tragedy that this place is open again.
I am in san diego, anybody want to join me for some lobsters and reconnaissance in rosarito ? :wink:

Further benifits... Officials are free from operating under the American legal system. While slow and misguided, the American Legal system is light years ahead of Mexico.
You'd think - but the truth is, the US of A has never closed one of these places down, or seriously investigated any of them. But excepting Jamaica - every "off shore" program has been (eventually) investigated and closed as a result. It seems the program folk are safer staying in the American back woods than anywhere else in the world.

Just Google the phone number.

Really Cedu didn't shut down due to a massive lawsuit?
Whitmore hasn't been run out of business due to a massive lawsuit?
HLA isn't being chased out of business due to a pending massive lawsuit?
Chuck Long of the Bufallo Soldiers re-enactors society isn't sitting behind bars putting him out of business?
Florida didn't shut every single one of their boot camps?
That is the list I can come up with off the top of my head.
You can laud the Mexican justice system all you want for shutting down a corrupt facility. Just do it between revolutions and government sponsored drug deals if you could.
Yes, Law suites have shut some programs down. And some have been investigated - and a small few of the abusers have or are facing charges.
I was thinking about WWASPS programs in particular, rather than the industry over all. But even industry wide - the "authorities" tend to turn and twist in every way possible to avoid taking any meaningful action. Generally, someone has to die first. And even then - often times - it is swept under the rug.
It wasn't my intent to Laud the Mexicans - but you have to admit they did more about Casa than South Carolina has done about Carolina Springs; or Montana about Spring Creek Lodge; or Nevada about Horizon Academy; or Georgia about Darrington; or Utah about Majectic Ranch or Cross Creek - so far anyway. This allows the program parents with kids in these programs to continue under the delusion "their" program is safe; when in fact, it is exactly like those shut down in Mexico or Costa Rica or Samoa or the Czech republic.
And when action is taken, it is not the Feds who investigate and intervein. There fore, I stick to my point, that WASP would be safer to stick to the American back woods, if they don't want the disruption to the process and profits that comes from raids and investigations.

The Mexican authorities closed Casa by the Sea, Sunrise Beach, and High Impact.
Now my question is: Which Mexican authorities? What was the name of the government organization that closed them? Was it done on a federal level, or below? Under what laws, precisely, did they close them?
I'm interested in getting some action taken on getting them shut down before they open, but I really need some info on how the Mexican government works.
-
mexico is federalist. Rosarita is loacated in the state of Baja California
for those who speak spanish this is the official govt site. If anyone lives in California it is apparently really close to San Diego. Might be worth a trip. Hope this is a starting point

OMFG!! hahaha this is funny... well i attended this skool for 8 months... it wasnt open as seaside academy it shanged to pacific view then to oceanside and decided to "leave" wwasp and named themselves Sunset Bay Academy. Some of the staff are from other wwasp programs like the director, Amy Richards. This place is a shit hole that advertizes itself as a nice "progressive" place, sound like an wwasp to u? This place is ridiculous pulling thier stunts for money. Kind of funny if you ask me.
-
This thread was started in 2006 when we didn't have the information we have today. In fact we now have a datasheet on our wiki database called Sunset Bay Academy (http://http://wiki.fornits.com/index.php?title=Sunset_Bay_Academy) covering this specific facility. It can need improvement, so please help us out by describing living conditions and nature of their behavior modification program.

Oscar do you do anything else besides Fornits Wiki? Do you have a life?
-
I don't do anything with the Fornits Wiki. This work is done by others at Spft. My small contribution is to inform the editors when there are threads on this message board which should be added to the Wiki. We have 5-7 people doing this with various message boards.
Sunset Bay Academy's datasheet will be changed in short time to reflect the changes in their program. While they don't use the WWASP program in its full form they for sure have a behavior modification program there just as punitive.
