Private Schools

I spent about 18 and a half months at the program, and there were multiple occasions when I thought “what a horrible place”. Everyone is going to have that moment during their stay in a treatment facility. So no matter where you put your child, they will be reluctant for a little bit, but will eventually find ways to occupy their time. For me it’s hard to categorize what I liked and what I didn’t like. Such as relationships. The relationships you make at Telos or even anywhere in life aren’t always going to be good. The difference between Telos and the real world is that while being in the same place as other boys for at least 7-10 months is that you get a chance to express your differences and either leave each other alone or maybe become even closer friends. It’s really up to you and that other person to make a change. On the other hand you got Telos staff relationships. Some of them are great, some of them are good, and some are eh. I personally had great relationships with almost every staff, but there were some times when I yelled, and cussed at staff. The only real downside to the Telos staff is that can be very unpredictable with their boundary settings and then afterwards meaning when it comes to talking with them outside of the RTC itself/post treatment. But while you’re in the RTC your kid should make good relationships with them. School. Could be better, but it could also be worse. It’s nice and convenient since it’s right below the floors. Teachers are all nice. The only down side is having all of these kids running around in a tight spot otherwise school works out just fine. Lastly, the therapists. At first I wanted a therapist change. I hated my therapist. Eventually, I realized it’s my choice and not his. Some kids will say it’s the therapists but in reality it’s the kids choice how long they will make their stay be. Obviously there’s a set time that ranges anywhere from at least 7-10 months, but after that it’s really up to the kid. They just have to put in the work. I’m finally out and overall I would say it wasn’t great. It was above average. In the end though it’s nice to know that hard work pays off and I’m glad I made the relationships I did while I was there, because some of those people could be friends for a long time, if not then for life.

We wanted to give our children a great education as well as a positive environment to grow and learn. We feel that Arches Academy offers the best of both worlds. The classes are small and the relationships our children have with their teachers are closer and more caring than anything they could have experienced anywhere else. We know that our children are in a safe, encouraging environment with teachers who truly care about them.

We consider ourselves lucky to have our son attend Clear Horizons Academy. The staff are wonderful, the teachers patient, the care they give to those with Autism is fantastic and the hope it gives us, as parents of someone afflicted by is, well... beyond measure. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Best Preschool Out There! My son went here once he was 2 1/2. The staff is sweet, the program and curriculum are unmatched even by those out-of-state, my son learned a ton, and he even got ahead in his learning. We had to leave because we moved away, and I can tell you that my heart broke to leave this school behind, especially when I realized I wouldn't find another school like it!

teaches you to be scam artists and thieves. 5 stars

This is a great school, our Grand daughter is doing well here, they are attentive to the students needs. Wish we could have gotten her here earlier,

I'm giving it a one because that's the lowest I could possibly give. The education was alright, but the harassment and hatred from other students is unacceptable, especially for such a price. My child needed counseling after he left, and is continually harassed by students. There are much better public and private schools, but Rowland Hall may be the worst educational facility I have ever seen.

Our two kids have been at the McGillis School since kindergarten. The amazing teachers create a learning environment in which our kids are thriving. We love McGillis.

We have moved around quite a bit in our kids earlier years and they attended many schools. We have never fallen in love with any of them until we found Providence Innovation Academy. We LOVE this school! The staff and the teachers are INCREDIBLE. We love it for so many reasons, but here are some: We know that our children are in a safe environment. We know that they are being taught good principles. We know they are getting prepared not only educationally, but also for life. So many classes that I've never seen taught anywhere else. It feels like a family with this school. In the Fall of 2016/2017 will be our 3rd returning year. We are soooo grateful that we found this school, and we will never go anywhere else.

Amazing school and staff! Love the staff like as if they were family!

the chairs and carpet are very high quality and often make feel as if i am home. Everyday as i walk into the school and feel the wash of refrigerated air and the slight smell of despair that fills the air. as i walk to my locker i feel exited for the oncoming day and homework load, for this is american heritage.....

We absolutely loved sending our daughter to this school. Regretably we no longer live in Utah so we can't send her there. I highly recommend American Legacy Academy for their academic and religious curriculum.

I was invited here on Veteran's Day to speak in an assembly and I was blown away. These kids are intelligent. Their three-year-olds can read. Their sixth graders test at a college level. A kid in middle school was telling me how he built his own Ham radio. My kids will be attending this school.

I can't say enough good things about this school, it's amazing!! Julie Smith is running a great program, I highly recommend it to everyone

I graduated from Liahona 2 years ago. I was able to finish 1 year of concurrent college credit through Liahona and started at UVU with a year of college already completed. I was able to qualify for an academic scholarship at UVU. I loved my teachers and especially the other students. Everyone was really nice and welcoming when I started at the school the beginning of my senior year. It was the best school year of my life! I actually made friends there. I loved it!

I loved Learning Life Academy. My children learned so much in the small classroom sizes and the one on one learning. I really loved the art classes. What a great place for my children to learn and grow.
