As You are Looking for Christian Boarding Schools near Athens, Tennessee, Would You Take a Look at One in North Carolina Instead?

While you search around Athens for a residential program for troubled teens, we invite you to look also at Wolf Creek Academy. While not situated in Athens, Tennessee, Wolf Creek Academy is dedicated to family restoration and putting teens back on track for a bright future.

Situated in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, Wolf Creek Academy serves teenage boys and girls on different parts of its campus who have ongoing behavior difficulties, damaged family relationships, and other emotional issues.

Wolf Creek specializes in attachment disorders and other serious relational and self-destructive behavioral difficulties in boys and girls.  Our staff is highly qualified and trained to deal with and treat various psychological disorders that many other boarding schools that call themselves “therapeutic” are not equipped to handle.

We are a faith-based program dedicated to integrity, character, and personal responsibility. All of the teens who attend our program can be productive citizens when given guidance and the opportunity to reach their potential.

Wolf Creek Academy gives a safe home environment for teen boys and girls who have gone off course. Residents live in a comfortable home run by a husband and wife team of houseparents and residential assistants. Inside our family model, girls and boys are responsible for daily chores typical of home life and learn to respect authority and relate well with their peers.

Parent involvement is crucial to the effectiveness of our therapeutic boarding school program.

Parents receive weekly verbal and email reports and play a role in the progress of their son or daughter.

For the teen, every day starts with small group counseling sessions about anger management, respect for authority, and many other topics relevant to teens. Weekly individual sessions help residents make progress toward their therapeutic goals. We also have a risky activities program to handle issues related to drug abuse and other addictive behaviors like eating disorders or cutting.

Our accredited school lets students succeed at their own pace.

Using our fully accredited Christian curriculum, students can catch up in their education and work successfully at their unique speed. Teachers and assistants monitor progress through the workbooks and help students who require extra assistance with their work. Credits transfer easily to other schools, and those who complete the curriculum earn a high school diploma. Our new skills development center offers a skilled trade as well as vital skills for any manufacturing environment, including welding skills, shop safety, work ethic for first time employees, and other disciplines.

To help keep teens physically active we hold daily PE classes including a number of sports and seasonal outdoor adventure activities, including hiking (the Appalachian Trail is nearby) and skiing. Every week, social activities also vary and may include bowling, movies, church, visiting museums plus much more.

Wolf Creek Academy wants your teenager to learn a more productive and positive way of life, improve their academics, and improve their decision-making abilities.

We offer a loving, home-like environment with professional counseling to show teens how to make better choices in life. Though we are not situated in Athens,Tennessee, the North Carolina mountains are a beautiful setting for restoration and growth.
