Logan River Academy’s Student Program works with young individuals ages 12-18, focusing on developing emotional balance, social skills, and academic success. The program is designed to provide a supportive and structured environment where students engage in a variety of healthy activities, many of which they help plan.

Our treatment approach aims to assist students in developing skills to better manage emotional volatility, navigate adolescence in positive ways, and ultimately create healthy and balanced lives. Students acquire essential skills to foster healthy relationships, set appropriate boundaries, and improve self-esteem.

While our program includes specialized support tailored to individual needs, it also provides a co-ed school setting with additional co-ed activities. This structure offers real-world experiences in a safe and well-supervised environment, preparing students for life beyond LRA. Supervised interactions in traditional classes contribute to a more typical school experience, helping students develop appropriate social skills that can translate to future academic and social success.

Our comfortable living environment supports students’ needs for individualized attention and personal space. Dorms are specialized, spacious, and well-supervised, with limited student numbers to ensure access to the necessary support.

Our therapists are highly skilled in working with students facing a wide range of challenges, including:

• Executive Functioning deficits
• Depression
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Screen Addiction
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Social Skills deficits
• Adoption/Attachment issues
• Mild Substance Use

This specialized therapeutic program is designed to provide superior treatment for students struggling with these issues. We use the ESSENCE model (Executive Functioning, Sensory, Self-care, Emotion regulation, Communication, Empathy) alongside evidence-based models such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). Additionally, we emphasize exercise, nutrition, community service, and mindfulness to support overall well-being. Our dedicated team works with students in an individualized manner to ensure personalized progress.

Dorm life is structured, predictable, and consistent, with highly trained therapists and mentors available to coach, process, and problem-solve. Our goal is to balance school, skill-building, work, therapy, and leisure through structured schedules and activities. Each student works closely with staff mentors who provide guidance and support in areas such as hygiene, cleanliness (e.g., laundry), Logan River Academy’s five principles, school performance, and other personal goals. Mentors collaborate closely with therapists to assist in improving areas of focus.

Students participate in frequent off-campus activities and remain engaged in the community. Additionally, they have the opportunity to work paid jobs on campus, earning minimum wage.

Our fully accredited school operates from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The school environment maintains a realistic and traditional feel while incorporating various accommodations to meet diverse student needs. With small class sizes and instruction through multiple mediums, we closely track students’ academic progress. Our program includes special education teachers, accommodations for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and a specialized academic environment to assist students in achieving high school graduation.
