If you are looking for therapeutic boarding schools or boys ranches in Georgia, take into account that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could possibly be just what you are interested in. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is obviously a distance from Georgia, but that may be a good thing. Think about this: For boys in need of intervention, getting away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–away from the pressure of friends and familiar places—may be precisely the right thing to spark a big change. Parents from across the country, including Georgia, decide on Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their son.

Strong Reputation for Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys

As the initial residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been assisting families for more than five decades. We are certain that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the surest way to transformation in the lives of the young men we serve. Every major component of our program is biblically-based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason numerous young men have discovered success here, even where other programs have failed.

A few factors distinguish Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch from other therapeutic boarding schools: 

• MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low so that boys have a lot of supervision and personal attention. Our staff are highly trained and most have bachelor or master’s degrees in their area of work.

• ADVENTURE-BASED LEARNING — Our outdoor adventure program is second to none. Our students have regular opportunities to experience fun and challenging outdoor activities. Students enjoy camping, backpacking, rappelling, canoeing, and spelunking (cave exploration). Students are challenged physically and learn the importance of goals and perseverance.

• MORE PRIVACY FOR EACH BOY — Rather than housing all the boys in a large dorm filled with bunk beds, our students have their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.

• MORE FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to make visits to home on normal scheduled breaks.

• MORE ADDICTION TREATMENT — Our program is a licensed dual-diagnosis Addiction Treatment Center with staff expertly trained to treat substance abuse, as well as harmful lifestyle addictions to gambling, pornography, or online gaming.

• EXTENSIVE AFTERCARE PROGRAM — After successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go back home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.

Christian Boarding School Offering a First-Class Education

Education means a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we find that education is critical for future success. Within our private Christian school with fully accredited classes, boys complete courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist those who need it. We offer a GED opportunity for anyone with too few credits to graduate high school in an appropriate time frame. Credits earned can transfer to private or public schools at home. Boys can also learn basic vocational skills for example woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, shop skills, basic automotive, and more. After leaving Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, many boys opt to continue their classwork from home through dual enrollment with Alpha Omega Academy distance learning.

Boys at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch participate in many recreational activities, both on and off campus. We operate an adventure program second to none. As well as being fun and physically challenging for the boys, it teaches them about reaching goals, communicating and cooperating well with others.
