Sue Scheff Truth

Harbor Oaks Boarding School - North Carolina

Harbor Oaks is a Christian boarding school located in Mars Hill, North Carolina. The owners are James and Patricia Jones. The facility uses the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) workbook curriculum provided by School of Tomorrow.

School of Tomorrow requries that just one person in an entire school be “certified” to use the curriculum. However, this certification is NOT from any state agency. It is issued by School of Tomorrow.

This enables schools to use the curriculum without having any certified teachers.The status of the “teachers” at Harbor Oaks is still in question.

ISAC has received complaints against Harbor Oaks alleging inadequate education, false advertising, unqualified staff, lack of supervision, and physical abuse.

Sue Scheff, owner of Parents Universal Resource Experts (PURE), reportedly receives payment in exchange for referring families to Harbor Oaks.

ISAC has learned that Scheff’s daughter, Ashlyn Jockell, is employed by the facility.

The Madison County Department of Social Services has substaniated a report for neglect at Harbor Oaks.

The findings include: lack of medical care, lack of mental health care, and improper supervision.

Anyone with information about Harbor Oaks is asked to contact ISAC immediately.

In a word, we all should be very concerned because these particular crack pots hold serious influence in politics and, evidently, our media.
