Therapeutic Residential Boarding School for Struggling Teens

Welcome to Turning Winds Academic Institute (TWAI). TWAI is one of the world's premier teen boarding schools. Our highly successful therapeutic boarding school has assisted hundreds of troubled teens in getting their lives back "on track." Over the years we have developed a proven comprehensive program shown to be effective in helping teens overcome previous negative and destructive behaviors and embrace healthy new lifestyles. Our Integrated Therapeutic Education Curriculum (ITEC) helps ensure each teen is continuously learning and acquiring important "life skills" that will increase the likelihood of success after the completion of our "life changing" program. Because of our success in working with teens, TWAI has established itself as one of the top Therapeutic Boarding Schools in the world.
Our program has been designed to successfully work with families in many different geographic locations. The teens we help come from all over the United States, as well as many countries abroad. Over the past decade we have enrolled students from every major continent in the world (Click here for foreign enrollment information).
