Alpine Academy Reviews | How to Inspire a Valedictorian | Tooele Utah



Alpine Academy reviews this interesting story on how a struggling teen goes from failing to valedictorian and what made the biggest difference:

Katie was dealing with an internal struggle as well as one between herself and parents at home until she learned the skills needed for success and the value of believing in herself.
Katie was a struggling teen looking for validation and trying to find balance in her life. She was warmly welcomed into the treatment center that is said to be almost more like a home than an academy.
Katie’s family has tried other personalized and advanced treatment programs but here’s the difference:
Alpine Academy believes in a traditional and innovative approach to academics. We start off with making school as “normalized” as possible in the treatment center setting; school starts at 8:00am and goes until 2:40pm. Students switch from class to class on an AB block schedule. Re-creating this traditional setting makes it easier for students to continue using the skills that they learn at Alpine when they transition back to their next school. Alpine Academy also uses direct instruction, with highly-qualified and certified teachers in the classroom teaching each subject. In addition to their core subject certification, the teachers are endorsed in Special Education. Alpine Academy reviews the grades of each student on a quarterly basis with a “standards-based” report card that breaks down exactly what the student has learned and how well she learned it. Each student also carries a planner to school each day to track homework, assignments, as well as if she used her skills that day. When she goes home the student sits down with the home staff members and reviews that planner, ensuring all team members are on the same page. Through our online Parent Portal, a parent reviews his or her daughter’s academic progress, grades, assignments, etc. “Alpine gave us every dream we could have ever hoped for. Years from now I know we’re going to look back and be so glad to have experienced Alpine Academy.”

We see reviews all over the place for treatment centers but we can’t stress enough how invaluable this experience has been.

The Lesson of the Burnt Biscuits 

When I was a kid, my Grandma liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day. On that evening so long ago, she had placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my Granddad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my Granddad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Grandma and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing… never made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Grandma apologize to my Granddad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Granddaddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Grandma put in a hard day of work today and she’s real tired. And besides – a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!”
As I’ve grown older, I’ve thought about that many times.
Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I’m not the best at anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults, and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

Therapeutic Diversity and Equine Therapy


I believe the girls we work with at Alpine are diverse, unique individuals. Although certain diagnostic labels may apply, this often doesn’t do justice to their complicated struggles. In treating them as individuals, I also feel there is seldom a “one size fits all” therapeutic approach. Plus, we know teenagers get bored easily! Sometimes DBT works wonderfully with a client at one point in treatment, whereas another might be more engaged and invested in Equine (horse) Therapy. This is why the clinical team at Alpine is so devoted to ongoing education and training.

If you are curious about Equine Therapy or any of the other therapeutic techniques implemented at Alpine Academy, please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the clinical team.
