I am a mother with a son who currently attends Horizon Academy. My son has been at Horizon Academy since July 10, 2005. I visited Horizon the day before I admitted my son. The drive was 600 miles round trip, but I felt compeled to visit the facility prior to admitting my son. I was given a tour and met a lot of the staff. The facility was very clean and the grounds were well groomed. I was impressed with the computer room, kitchen, dining area, library room, office, and the teens rooms. More than that, I was impressed with the structure they have for the teens. I saw the staff sitting at the same table with the teens during lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed . As I looked at their smiling faces, I knew it would be the family environment my son needed. They would be my son's family during a ciritical time in his life. Horizon Academy is not an institution where you place your child to deal with their issues until they are eighteen. It is so much more than that. It is a life changing experience for the teens as well as the parents. The staff really know my son. He has constant supervision with caring people that have his interest at heart. They have a program that really works. I have met five teens that have graduated from the program. What an awesome experience. I had exhausted every resource I could think of at home. I spent many hours wondering how I could help my son. I could see him destroying his life before my eyes but was helpless to help him. Now I know he is safe and getting the help he truly needs. He has changed so much in the last three months. He now sees a hopeful future in front of him. He has a long way to go but Horizon Academy has the staff and program in place that he needs to succeed. Thank you Horizon Academy for being there for my son and I. Janet J.
