teen girls therapeutic program boarding school

Spiritual Healing

Our program will encourage your teen to seek God's will for their life. We believe that God has a purpose for everyone and finding that purpose is what brings healing to these broken-hearted teen girls. Jesus is the answer for the soul that is searching.

Accredited Academics

Our curriculum is individualized to meet the needs of every resident. If your teen is failing school, skipping classes or has learning difficulties, our academy can help get them back on track. Your teen can earn a High School diploma at our academy.

Student Life

It is important for a teen's life to be balanced. We provide many activities for the girls to enjoy such as games, recreation, horseback riding, swimming, volleyball or enjoying a movie. We also visit churches to sing and share our testimonies with others.

Restoring Families

If your family has been torn apart by an out of control teen, you may feel that your relationship can never be restored. Our program will help teens get their life back and re-build broken relationships.

Teen Girls Therapeutic Boarding Academy

Refuge of Grace Academy is a low cost Christian Therapeutic teen program for struggling teen girls. If your teen girl is struggling with authority, constantly lying, running away, coming home late, sexually promscuous, experimenting with alcohol or drugs, failing school, skipping school or diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), or teen depression, our teen program for girls can help. Many programs are expelling teens for these behaviors but we are able to keep them and turn them around. Our program is a well-balanced program that strives to get each resident back on track spiritually, behaviorally and academically.

SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS: All students attend daily chapel where teens learn Biblical principles that deal with many different teen issues. Chapel is a very important part of our program and that is why we have multiple speakers that visit our school and help conduct our chapels. Many of these are national speakers that have been helping teens for many years. When a teen finds their faith again and surrenders their life to Christ, it is amazing to see the miracles that take place and the changes that the teens make. True healing comes from a change in heart and a relationship with Jesus Christ.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION: It is important for teens to learn coping skills, character, self discipline, personal accountability and good habits. Our program offers a structured environment and counseling where at risk teen girls get the help they need. We provide an environment that helps teens see their issues and decide to make positive changes in their life. Our methods have been turning teen girls around for many years.

ACADEMICS: Yes, your teen can graduate high school while attending our program. We have college prepratory studies and our curriculumn is accredited. We use the School of Tomorrow curriculumn which uses a PACE program. This gives the teens an opportunity to catch up on credits they have missed or failed. Most programs for struggling teens only offer G.E.D. At our academy the curriculumn is individualized to the needs of each student. Our school is also a member of the Missouri Association of Christian Child Care Agencies (MACCCA)
