Three Springs School
Applies For Accreditation
Three Springs School, Paint Rock Campus in Alabama formally
started the process to apply and receive accreditation as
a regular school through the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools (SACS).
Orme School In Mayer,
Arizona
Orme School in Mayer, Arizona started the school year with
143 students. Orme is one of many traditional schools which
have increased its emphasis on providing additional support
for students who need extra help and support. Orme's program
includes the T-Anchor Center which provides a Study Skills
class for all 7th, 8th, and 9th graders and those upper classmen
who need extra support; a Personal Study program with personal
monitoring to ensure students are really doing the studying
they promised; and a tutoring service for students.
Rocky Mountain Academy
Encourages Students To Give Something Back To The Community
Rocky Mountain Academy in North Idaho has been stocking fish
in local Alpine lakes to benefit fishermen. This is part of
their approach to encourage students to give something back
to the community in which they live. I'll have to say I'm
impressed with the Three Springs marketing philosophy. Every
time I refer a parent to them, I get either a verbal or written
thank you. I'm sure that extra little effort has something
to do with their rapid growth.
Outpatient Program
At Forest Heights Lodge
Linda Clefisch handles the outpatient program for Forest Heights
Lodge in Colorado. Beginning in 1973, the outpatient program
was started as a response to requests from professionals to
expand the inpatient program. It had been decided that expanding
the inpatient program beyond the 24 boys in residence would
be incompatible with their philosophy. They accept boys and
girls, ages two to 16, who can then be served outside institutions
and has prevented the need for later residential treatment.
