Dear Parent Considering Horizon Academy:
We know first hand how hard it can be to come to the point where you finally realize your best efforts to change or control your child’s actions are not working. You know you have to do something for the safety and well-being of your child and your family.
You have likely researched alternatives that will give your child a hope of a successful future, because you love him or her and only want the best for them. Horizon Academy is one such alternative and we strongly believe it can be the right choice for you just like it has been for us.
In early July 2005, we came to the realization that we had to do something to stop our sixteen-year-old daughter’s self-destructive behavior. Her personal choices were placing her own future and even her life in jeopardy, as well as, nearly destroying our family from the stress and worry.
We were not aware that options, such as Horizon, even existed until we ran across a web site in our search for help. Less than a week after we learned about the school we visited for a tour. We were very surprised when we arrived to find that Horizon had only been open a few weeks and that the facility is essentially all new. We were impressed with the staff and the structure that had been established to teach and guide the students through the behavioral change process. We met a number of staff members on our visit, and they all were professional, competent, experienced, and most of all caring. If we were to entrust our daughter to someone else’s care for an extended period of time, we had to believe it was more than a “job” to them. We left with the impression that many of the key staff at Horizon were investing a large part of their life to make a difference in the lives of troubled teens.
We drove our daughter to Horizon on July 16, 2005. To say the least, when she realized we were leaving her there, she was extremely angry with us. It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do, but we have no regrets now!
The behavioral change program that is applied at Horizon works! Over the last three months we have slowly seen the loving, bright child emerge from the stranger that had been living in our home. Our daughter loves the school, is excited about her progress and has a second chance and hope for a great future now.
We highly recommend Horizon Academy for your “troubled teen”. We firmly believe that the relatively small size of the school is a big benefit. With the current level of enrollment, the staff is able to develop closer relationships with all of the students, which we believe helps to facilitate faster growth and change in the students.
We are very happy with the communications we have been having with the school. The initial bi-weekly, and now weekly, phone calls help us to feel connected on a more personal note than just the weekly letters we receive from our daughter.
We wholeheartedly recommend Horizon to any parent that has realized they need help with changing their child’s self-destructive behavior. We feel God led us to Horizon and is using this school to work a miracle in our daughter’s life!
Sincerely,
Kerry and Gwen R.
