the thread on caroline (jenny) kind of got me curious as to what bullshit was being presented to the parents, and to the world.... the first flag that was raised was the tuition...
New Horizons for Young Women admission cost is $428.00 per day.
There is a minimum length of stay of 42 days and any extensions are in seven-day increments.
6 weeks tuition $17,976
7 weeks tuition $20,972
8 weeks tuition $23,968
9 weeks tuition $26,964
the second flag that was raised to me, was the same line that was fed to us at the cedu schools:
"New Horizons isn't a program for "fixing" your daughter. She is not broken."
The third flag that was raised to me were the mini propheets that they put the girls through... 5 in total (which in a six week period, would completely mess up a girl for life.
