Turning Winds is accredited through Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC). Accreditation assures parents that their teens are receiving a quality education that will be recognized across state lines and by colleges and universities across the world. Furthermore, good accrediting bodies help to ensure that the school engages the entire school staff in meeting rigorous standards and in continuous improvement. Our commitment is to help each teen achieve their highest potential. The end result of a good academic program is to see the love of learning passed on to the pupils enrolled. When students find success in the classroom it changes their lives.
Most classrooms in public schools will vary in size but can have up to 30-40 students. This is close to the size of our entire teen boarding school population. Our typical class size ranges between 6- 12. This allows our certified teachers to individualize each teen’s academic plan in order to monitor progress and make frequent adjustments to ensure a successful academic outcome. Most teens prior to attending our school were grossly underachieving academically. Once enrolled in our individualized academic program these same students who were underachieving find success through our individualized learning model. Our students have gone on to attend many of the top universities in the nation.
On average, our students maintain a 3.5 GPA, complete 2 years of schooling, and increase GPA by nearly a full letter grade in a 12 month period of time. Not many boarding schools can achieve that kind of a turn around in such a short period of time. We can help turn your child’s academic failures into academic achievement.
Turning Winds typical student has an average to above average IQ and yet many are failing in school prior to enrollment. Once enrolled in our individualized academic program these same students who were underachieving find success through our individualized learning model. Our approach makes the difference! Shortly after enrollment the student’s academic plan is completed. Our comprehensive academic plan is specific to the needs of each student and ensures an organized learning experience that helps to maximize success in learning for each teen attending our boarding school.

Turning Winds offers almost any class our students will need to take to continue with their education.

MTDA offers elective courses that expose students to subjects that may not be available in their local schools including AP classes. Additionally, students attending Turning Winds’s academic school may also work on dual enrollment classes through a number of participating higher education programs in the area that have partnered with schools like Turning Winds.
