While you search around Riverdale for a residential program for troubled teens, we invite you to look also at Wolf Creek Academy. Even though it is not situated in Riverdale, Maryland, Wolf Creek Academy focuses on family restoration and putting teens back on the right path for a bright future.

Located in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, Wolf Creek Academy serves teenage girls and boys on different parts of its campus who have ongoing behavior difficulties, strained family relationships, or 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 dedicated to integrity, character, and personal responsibility. Each of the teens who attend our program can grow into productive members of society when given guidance and an opportunity to reach their potential.

Wolf Creek Academy provides a loving home environment for teen boys and girls who have lost their way. Residents live in a comfortable home with a husband and wife team of houseparents and residential assistants. In our family model, teenagers are responsible for daily chores typical of home life and discover how to respect authority and get along with their peers.

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

Parents stay informed with weekly verbal and email reports and participate in the progress of their son or daughter.

For the teen, every day begins with small group counseling sessions covering anger management, respect for authority, and several other topics of importance to teens. Weekly individual sessions help residents make progress toward their therapeutic goals. Our program also includes a risky activities program to deal with issues related to drug abuse or other addictive behaviors like eating disorders or cutting.

Our accredited school lets students succeed at their own pace.

In our fully accredited Christian curriculum, students can complete missing credits in their education and work successfully at their unique rate. Teachers and assistants monitor progress through the classwork and help students who need extra input for their work. Credits transfer easily to public and private schools, and those who complete the curriculum earn a high school diploma. Our recently added skills development center offers a skilled trade along with vital skills for a manufacturing environment, including welding skills, shop safety, work ethic for first time employees, and other disciplines.

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

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