Private Boarding School for Troubled Teens

Welcome to Turning Winds Academic Institute. Our highly successful private therapeutic boarding school has helped hundreds of troubled teens get their lives back "on track." Turning Winds Academic Institute is one of the world's premier teen boarding schools. Our student population comes from all over the United States as well as from countries abroad (Click here for foreign enrollment information). Over the past decade we have helped hundreds of teens and families in need, and through it all have developed a comprehensive troubled teens program that is effective in helping teens to overcome past behaviors and embrace healthy new lifestyles. Our Integrated Therapeutic Curriculum (ITC) helps to ensure that, throughout their stay, every teen is constantly learning and acquiring important "life tools" that will help to ensure their success when they arrive home after the completion of our "life changing" program at our Therapeutic Boarding School.
