Perfectly 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 a record of behavior difficulties, damaged family relationships, or any other emotional problems.

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 emphasizing integrity, character, and accountability. Each of the teens who attend our program can be productive citizens when given guidance and a chance to reach their potential.

Wolf Creek Academy sets up a nurturing home environment for teen boys and girls who have gone off course. Residents live in a comfortable home with a married couple team of houseparents and residential assistants. In this family model, teens assist with daily chores common to home life and discover how to respect authority and relate well with their peers.

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

Parents stay up to date with weekly verbal and email reports and remain involved in progress of their son or daughter.

For the teen, every day starts off with small group counseling sessions related to anger management, respect for authority, and lots of other topics relevant to teens. Weekly individual sessions help residents make progress toward their counseling goals. In addition, we have a special therapy program to deal with issues related to drug abuse or any other addictive behaviors like eating disorders or cutting.

Our accredited school lets students succeed at their own pace.

Under our fully accredited Christian curriculum, students can fill in gaps in their education and work successfully at their own rate. Teachers and assistants monitor progress through the courses and help students who require extra assistance with their work. Credits transfer easily to public and private schools, and graduates earn a high school diploma. Our recently added skills development center teaches a skilled trade along with vital skills for a manufacturing environment, including welding skills, shop safety, work ethic for new employees, as well as other disciplines.

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