Silverado Academy

Entrance to SBR

Silverado Academy is a therapeutic boarding school for adolescents ages 13 through 18. The academy is specifically designed to integrate real world skills and enhance self-esteem through a combination of experiential therapy, stellar academics, and healthy relationships.

The foundation of our program is built upon three core principles: work, love, and play. These core principles are integrated into every aspect of our program. Staff are encouraged to maintain their own healthy life balance in these three areas; doing so they become strong role models for the students and for the families we serve.

Main House for Girls

We emphasize a positive peer environment to assist students in developing supportive social interactions through teamwork and shared responsibility. The program allows students to look inward for hidden strengths and self-confidence.

negative behavior patterns, and promotes emotional growth. Silverado offers is a two hundred acre & five hundred acre ranch in close proximity to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Par and Lake Powell. The location provides an inspirational setting which allows students to discover and develop new skill sets and new attitudes.

Every day students are engaged in some type of outdoor experience, whether it be daily chores, building fences, or hiking in the mountains. We believe that the combination of work, love, and play in a serence and majestic setting allows boys & girls to heal and to grow into resilient young men and young women.

Mark T

"Silverado has exceeded all of our expectations. We have seen significant improvements in our son’s attitude toward school, friends, family, and life. The balanced combination of academics, therapy, and outdoor activities form a solid platform to transform troubled teenage boys into healthy young men."

Jeff W.

"Silverado is a place where our son could learn about himself and explore his challenges with the support of an entire community, including his counselors, teachers, supervisors, and peers. The staff members show genuine concern for the well-being of every boy and make sincere, constructive efforts to build a family environment. Silverado’s philosophy of work, love, and play as well as its emphasis on connecting students with nature within very special settings were all factors of our placement decision for our son."

Natalie S.

Randy S.

"We did know where to turn for help… Silverado saved his life and gave us back our “real” son."

Trish

"The tremendous passion, commitment, and love the SBR staff demonstrate to our boys is evidenced daily through their core principles of work, love, and play. I now see they are setting the stage for our son to become a man, and are helping us become the parents we need to be for our son."

"The balance of academics and therapy in a family atmosphere has had a great impact on our son and our family"

Sally & Dave W

"We sent our son of to wilderness an angry young boy, and he returned from Silverado a calm young man. What a difference the right environment makes. Thanks Silverado!"

Fay & Howard

" We can sleep at night knowing that at every level of care--from the therapists and teachers to the administration and support staff--Silverado provides a safe, nurturing haven for our son. In a short amount of time, our son's performance and attitude toward school, his relationships, and everyday functioning have greatly improved. The standards are high here, and the T.R.U.S.T. level system works!"
