La Europa Academy

HIghly recommended. My daughter just graduated both the high school and the therapeutic program at LEA. She was there just over one year. Before she was admited, she wasnt going to her high school classes and she isolated herself. She had a whole host of other issues. Now she is confident in herself. She has been admitted to college for the fall and we are extremely optimistic about her future. The residential, academic and therapeutic elements of this program have all been great.

Having a unique view on this program (an insiders), I would not, in good conscience, place a child of mine into the care of this facility. Although it can help, for the cost, there are many other options out there where the overall results would be far better. The residential home on the property is in disrepair (plumbing, mold, bedbugs etc. etc.) and the low level of supervision of the teens allows for too much high risk behavior to occur. Again, the program does help, but for the cost I wuld look elsewhere.

This is not a good school for your troubled teenaged girl. The academics are substandard. The school promised art classes, exercise classes, special study classes for my ADD daughter, none of which happened. They did not return phone calls. They treat the girls like prisoners. The staff is extremely focused on religion, although they state they are non-denominational. The food is unhealthy and consists mostly of frozen dinners and pasta. Not what you would expect for the cost of the school. There are many other and far better schools out there.

Great staff; amazing program. Saved our family and our daughter. The design of the program from a theraputic and educational stand point gels so well together there.

i graduated from la europa about 9 months ago. i was there for just over a year. i really was not happy when i first arrived and was not open to change what so ever. after great stugels there and attepts to continue my un-healthy behavior, la europa started working for me. they gave me time to decide to work, and never made me change. this is importent because, a person will not change unless they are willing to. when i made the decition to change, they were there to help me, encourage me, and advise me. they really saved my life.

My daughter just graduated from La Europa Academy in June, 2010. She was there for ten and half months. She went from failing out of school to a straight A student. She now has a plan for the future which includes college and a much more responsible and respectful attitude towards people and life itself. I cannot recommend this school and it's staff highly enough! It was the hardest and best decision I ever made!
