A Private, State-Registered Boarding School

The Family Foundation School is a co-educational college preparatory boarding school for teens at risk. We are registered by the New York State Board of Regents and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. We offer college preparatory education to students who have suffered some form of arrested development during their adolescence.

Teens dealing with the following problems have benefited from The Family Foundation School:

  • Defiant behavior

  • Underachievement in school

  • Lying

  • Substance abuse

  • Verbal and physical abusiveness

  • Sexual promiscuity

  • Self-mutilation

  • ADD, ADHD and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder)

We have an integrated program of recovery based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 Steps provide our staff and students with a philosophic base to combine the spiritual, moral, academic, and psychological training necessary for living responsible lives. The program provides:

  • The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
  • A strong spiritual foundation
  • Structure and discipline within a family setting
  • Full range of artistic and athletic opportunities
  • College preparatory curriculum
  • Group and family counseling
