Troubled Kids Are Special.
Helping Them Succeed
Is Our Specialty.

Eckerd Academy is a licensed, accredited therapeutic boarding school in an outdoor setting that specializes in helping students discover innate natural strengths and achieve their maximum potential. We specialize in helping students who continue to struggle despite participating in other school or community-based counseling programs. At Eckerd, teens who were once considered troubled or at risk gain the skills and confidence necessary to transition into real world success.
