Our Mission: Helping You Help Your Child

At Eagle Ranch Academy, our purpose is simple: to help teens rediscover who they are and give families hope again. We provide a safe, structured environment where young people can heal, grow, and build the values that lead to a healthy, successful life. Every student comes to us with unique challenges—but also with strengths, talents, and potential waiting to be unlocked. Our mission is to help them find it again.

A Program Built on Values, Not Compliance

Many teens are overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck—not broken. They don’t need to be “controlled” into better behavior; they need guidance, safety, and a model for making healthy decisions. ERA uses a Choice-Based, Core-Value Behavioral Model that teaches students why their choices matter, not just how to behave in the moment.

We don’t rely on point systems, levels, or external rewards. Those methods often produce temporary compliance without real internal growth. Instead, we help teens internalize eight core values—

ACCOUNTABILITY. I will be Accountable for the things that happen in my life.

HONESTY. I will be Honest in all my relationships.

FORGIVENESS. I will Forgive everyone, including those that have hurt me.

ACCEPTANCE. I will Accept who I am and not seek the Acceptance of others.

INTEGRITY. I will always be the same person, whether in front of people or behind closed doors.

RESPECT. I will Respect others and myself.

TRUST. I will earn the Trust that I have lost and take the risk of trusting others.

SERVICE. I will give back to others because I have been given much.

Why ERA Works

Real, long-term change happens when a young person chooses growth for themselves. That’s why our program helps students understand their emotions, take ownership of their actions, rebuild relationships, and practice values that strengthen their character from the inside out. Through individual, family, and group therapy, guided assignments, experiential learning, and service, teens develop tools they’ll rely on throughout their life.

Our professional and clinical teams continually help students apply these values in real situations—not through manipulation or pressure, but through conversation, reflection, and natural consequences. This approach prepares them to succeed not just in our program, but long after they return home.

A Foundation for Life

Every aspect of Eagle Ranch Academy is designed to help your child become a confident, capable, emotionally resilient young adult. When students complete our program, they are better prepared to make healthy choices, build meaningful relationships, and navigate life with integrity and responsibility.

For many families, ERA is not only life-changing—it is life-saving.

Our goal is always the same: to reunite families stronger, healthier, and more connected than before.
