Our Approach

If you have a troubled teenager that continues to struggle despite school or other community-based counseling, we have a proven solution. At Eckerd Academy, we have a successful track record of nearly 50 years in helping troubled youth gain the skills and confidence needed to effectively transition into real-world success. We are fully accredited and have a remarkable success rate because of the structure, routines, goal setting and evaluations that we provide each child, as well as the clear expectations that are set. Most importantly, we develop therapeutic and academic treatment plans that are individualized to each student’s specific needs. This enables us to help students gain the self-esteem and competency needed to navigate the tough road from adolescence to adulthood, while also helping repair relationships between parents and other family members. Learn more about the Eckerd Academy difference.
