Mission Statement

Team Building

At Silverado Academy, we are committed to provide an empowering experience for adoescent's and their families in an environment that teaches respect and responsibility through work, love, and play. Our emphasis is on discovering and utilizing the inherent talents and individual gifts that exist within young men& young women to better themselves, their families and the communities in which they live.

Commitments

We are committed to be a positive change agent in the lives and families of those who attend Silverado Academy. We are driven to provide excellence and quality in our programming, our parent workshops, our staff training, and in the overall treatment of our students.

We are committed to providing safety and security for our students. Silverado staff are positive role models, and are hired and trained to model integrity, compassion, and professionalism. We teach and encourage respect for self, respect for others, and respect for nature. We will treat each student with dignity and respect, and all students will be taught to honor the rights of others.

We are committed to promote healing and hope for our students and their families through the development of healthy choices and healthy relationships.

Girl Time

We are committed to helping students understand the impact their behavior has on others while learning and applying the concepts of self-discipline, anger management, self-awareness, and impulse control.

Our overall goal is to effect long-lasting change in the lives of troubled teens through a program combining high impact experiential treatment, stellar academics, and a positive peer environment within a highly structured setting. Our students will learn self-acceptance, and will become self-reliant young men and young women.

Information

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.

"The natural beauty and outdoor activities coupled with the fine academics and warm and caring staff made Silverado a natural and healthy choice for our son and for us."

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."

"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!"
