Academic Program
The Academy, our on-site private school, provides an individualized, goal-oriented, student driven approach to learning. Each child’s individualized academic track is created after a review of the student’s past records, a discussion with the family and child, and the completion of placement testing. All academic coursework is from a Biblical worldview, follows state guidelines and requirements, and provides the opportunity for our students to matriculate back to a traditional school environment with confidence and skill. Our students learn to set daily, weekly, and quarterly goals, guiding them to take responsibility for their own personal growth as they operate within the structure we provide. As our children gain confidence through meeting their academic goals and maintaining integrity in their work, they also gain hope in their ability to accomplish tasks outside the classroom as well.
Our teachers have advanced education, special skills, knowledge, and/or expertise that qualify them to provide instruction to our students. Although many of our students arrive at the Ranch 1 to 3 years below grade level, teachers work one-on-one with students to promote consistent academic growth and integrity. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, Christian education with the opportunity for the student to matriculate back into a traditional school setting better equipped to succeed. Our focus at Edgewood Children’s Ranch is to meet the needs of each child we work with regardless of race, religion, ethnic origin, or ability to pay. All of our departments work together to create a positive outcome in our program. We exist to help mend hearts, heal spirits, and transform the futures of each child in our care.
