Carlbrook School

Our son was an good student in his freshman year in high school. He started smoking pot and K2, missing classes, and his grades degraded during his sophmore year. He had a number of car accidents. When confronted he evidenced a fierce sense of entitlement, was overly defiant, began lying, and sneaking out of the house at night. He refused to actively participate in counseling and we hit the point where we were walking on egg shells around our home and neither one of us could sleep at night. We had him escorted to Second Nature and researched every school we could find before selecting Carlbrook. We are extremely pleased with our choice. For the first time in more than a year we are sleeping soundly at night. Carlbrook has turned our son around. The school and programs instilled responsibility, accountability and a sense of purpose in our son. He is self-confident and recently received a very significant scholarship to a very good school. All of our conversations now end with "I love you and I miss you." He is a pleasure to be around and we trust him once again. I highly recommend this school for your consideration without hesitations or qualificaiton whatsoever.

Our child is bright, talented, accomplished, and, until she turned 16, was highly motivated. For a host of reasons, she began experimenting with drugs, became addicted and quickly lost control of her life. Poor decisions became the norm; she lost interest in her sport, school and family. It became crystal clear to us that she needed to leave the environment she was in, so we set out to find the right place for her to heal. She needed a strong therapeutic setting, but she also needed to be challenged academically (she was already taking AP level courses in all subjects). She needed rules, but we wanted her to be in an appealing (not an austere) environment. We wanted to be with her, but we knew she needed to be with others--and we wanted them to be sharp, dedicated and loving. We searched and searched the internet for the right school, asked everyone we could, and tasked our ed consultant with making the right match. It came down to one late-night internet search to led us to Carlbrook, and we thank God. It possesses the characteristics were sought, in spades. It is expensive, yes. But it is money well spent if it saves our daughter, and we believe it has.

Our daughter is about to graduate from Carlbrook. It has been a great experience for our whole family. She has grown up and matured in ways we couldn't have achieved here in our community. She has gotten in to some great colleges/universities and is looking forward to her future.

Was your son or daughter once an excellent student? Were they just as bright as could be? Have things gone off the rails in the last few years? You're wondering what has happened to your high-achieving teen? The Carlbrook School will help your child rediscover their drive and excellence. They did it for my son. He was careening out of control and failing classes. Now he has been accepted to a number of great universities and is excited about his life. You can find much about the school on their website. Here's what you won't find. They will get you involved and change you too. You and your child will cry buckets of tears together and you will re-connect. They run a tight ship but, mostly, they really love your kid. Carlbrook changed our lives.
