We Are All In. Every One of Us, Every Day, Meeting the Needs of Students Where They Are

Moonridge Academy is powerfully therapeutic and is fundamentally different from traditional boarding schools and other residential treatment programs. The teens that come to us are very capable of emotional intelligence and improved mental health. Many students who come to Moonridge are extremely capable students who have lost their love of learning.  Other students have challenges with learning disabilities or ADHD. In some cases, academic underperformance can be directly attributed to the clinical issues students might be facing. Our ability to successfully resolve their emotional challenges can provide students with the ability to perform to the level of their highest academic potential while also growing into their best selves, fully equipped and capable of navigating all of life's challenges.

Moonridge Academics is the perfect place for students who want to be challenged and learn in an environment that supports their individual academic needs. Our teachers are passionate about teaching and know how to differentiate instruction so that each student can succeed. Special consideration is taken to ensure that a student's IEP goals and/or 504 plan accommodations are followed.  Many of our students are gifted and our teachers tailor expectations to ensure they are academically challenged. In addition, our therapists and program staff work together to create a safe and supportive environment where students feel valued and appreciated.
