(CERRITOS, CA – October 7, 2003) — Aspen Education Group today
announced the acquisition of Explorations, Inc., a
family of Montana-based programs
that utilize imaginative outdoor, travel and living
experiences to help positively change the lives of
young people who are experiencing trouble
at home or in school.
“The unique programming and home-like environment of Explorations perfectly
complements the many programs already in place within the Aspen family,”
said Aspen Chief Executive Officer Elliot Sainer. “We share the same
goal of helping improve the quality of life for troubled youth, and we
are excited about now having Explorations’ programs and well-known leadership
team as part of Aspen.”
Since its founding in 1989, Explorations has helped hundreds of young
people confront their innermost doubts, embark on journeys of self-exploration
and begin to imagine the things they once thought were never in their
grasp. They have achieved this success through a consortium of five programs
designed to meet the distinct needs of students.
Aspen Education Group is the nation’s leader in providing educational
opportunities that improve the quality of life for troubled children,
teenagers and young adults and their families. Recognizing that every
individual is different and challenged by different needs, Aspen has
assembled a wide diversity of programs, settings and solutions so as
to be able to uniquely match the youth’s needs with the right learning
environment. Its 46 programs in 10 states range from long-term residential
treatment to community-based outpatient services and include a variety
of therapeutic interventions including boarding schools, special education
day schools, outdoor therapy and wilderness intervention programs. While
each Aspen program operates independently, participants in any of Aspen’s
curriculum benefit from the experience and depth of understanding that
comes from helping tens of thousands of youths over the past two decades.
