Alpine Academy is an RTC for girls ages 12-18 with emotional disturbances that are severe enough to prevent them from going to school successfully. Alpine is a fully accredited school with dual-endorsed teachers at the front of every classroom. Year round school enables students to start catching up on missing credits as soon as they arrive. Therapy is built into the school day so students never miss class for therapy or vice versa. The therapists use a variety of modalities (DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, etc) to find the best way to connect with and help the youth through individual, family, and group therapy. Students live in homes on our campus with a married couple that is trained and nationally certified in the Teaching Family Model, they are called Family Teachers. Their only job is to care for and teach social, academic and independent living skills to the youth. This allows for ongoing, pro-social skill development that is more easily generalized back to the home and public school environment.
