Natchez Trace Youth Academy

lucia burtrand and Bob Masonor are excellent educators who care a great deal about the residents educational needs.

This is a very highly structured facility that attempts to reach the complete child. The facility has an excellent atmosphere, allowing the students to be close to nature, being able to experience wildlife at only a few yards distance, and diverse species of plantlife. Teachers, therapists, and other staff as a whole are extremely dedicated to reaching each child. Current facilities are adequate, however plans for great improvements are in near future plans. I feel that if students in public schools were offered 1/3 the support these students are given, there would not be a need for this type of facility. Students would not deteriorate to the frustration level that these students have reached.

Excellent, sound and highly structured facility. Caring, competent and supportive staff members provide the highest caliber of care!

This program is one of the highest caliber programs that i have ever encountered, the staff are well knowledgeable and competent and have demonstrated the exceptional ability to handle the most challenging 'At-Risk' youth.
