Therapeutic Boarding Schools
Academy of the Sierras is the world’s first year-round residential treatment program and therapeutic boarding school for obese and overweight adolescents. There are three components to the program at the Academy: (1) Dramatic weight loss from comprehensive diet and activity management; (2) Behavioral change through intensive training on the set of behaviors that research reveals to be essential for successful long-term weight control, as well as extensive cognitive-behavioral therapy to ensure students are able to overcome any psychological or emotional barriers to mastering these behaviors; and (3) A world-class academic program that will ensure students accelerate academically (likely making up lost ground).
