School Success

School Success

Many of our students come to us with a history of academic struggles including school avoidance, underachievement, low motivation and learning differences. Any of these factors can have a huge impact on mood and self-esteem, and can lead to a belief that higher education is unattainable. Additionally, some students enroll in our program with high school credits left to complete, which can also feel like a daunting task. 

At Red Mountain Sedona, we are thrilled to offer our students expert help in the following areas:

College applications

Managing coursework

One-on-one tutoring

Time management

Understanding syllabi and planning assignments

SAT prep

ACT prep

GED prep

Tutoring 

High School completion

College Credit Included 

For students who have completed high school and wish to attend college, our daily fees include up to six credit-hours of regular program tuition at Yavapai College – Verde Valley. YCVV has six separate schools of study that offer degrees and/or certificates in areas ranging from Arts and Humanities to Science and Engineering. Students can study Film & Media Arts, Computer Programming, Business, Nursing, or even learn a trade. This can all be done in an environment that supports their course completion without the distraction or risk that might be associated with a large university. 

We provide our students with transportation to class, computer access, and all the tools and support they need to excel in traditional and/or online educational settings.

We also provide a united front across the spectrum of our academic, residential, and clinical teams, addressing the issues that have held our students back in the past and supporting them in new approaches to school that translates into real success.

College Graduation 

After graduating from the Red Mountain program, our alumni have continued to engage in studies at Yavapai College and at the following institutions across the country :

“I just wanted our son to pass a college class. Just one. He barely got through high school, and totally failed in his past attempts at college. I mean, it wasn’t even close. He couldn’t get himself to class, couldn’t understand the syllabus, and couldn’t organize his thoughts.” Parent of a Graduate

Our students are often surprised at what they can accomplish in school with adequate support and motivation. We will do whatever is needed to help them succeed in school and take the next steps in their education.

“The fact that he not only passed, but pulled B’s in not one, but two classes, while at Red Mountain is extraordinary. Now, after Red Mountain, he’s a full-time student, and even earned a scholarship. I could not be happier.” Parent of a Graduate

High School Completion

Completing high school while at a young adult transition program can provide an excellent opportunity for students to reach this important milestone while also gaining other necessary life skills simultaneously. At this age, returning to a traditional high school setting may feel like a step backward and depending on how many credits a student has left to finish, it can take quite a while. For others, returning to their “home school” may not be clinically recommended.  At Red Mountain, our high school students have several options for attaining their diploma including finishing their credits through their previous school district, completing an online high school program through the University of Nebraska or through Brigham Young University or by attaining their GED locally at Yavapai College—Verde Valley.
