I can do that. The site I linked to (isaccorp.org) with the information about the school is offline at the moment but I'm in contact with the owners of that site and can get them to forward you all the information they have. Feel free to send me an email at psyborgue@mac.com. Sure. I can do that.

All of this was arranged in these past three days. She was sent there concerning her past issues with her depression. Me and my friends have been trying to prevent this from happening, without succes. The school she's going to is called Wolf Creek Academy. We've been researching the school on your sit and found this info very disturbing. Now our main concern is to get her to come back or to get her to go to a proper school in America. Her parents refuse to read the information we have found about this school. There's been a lot of shadiness about the finances and how she has gotten her visa so quickly and we've been told that the school has had that arranged for her while the school is not even registered as an official school... We haven't shown this information to the police yet but are planning to do so this week. The authorities here can't do very much because she's still a minor. I was wondering if you could send more information about this place that could be usefull (apart from your site). I would be very gratefull if you could find the time to do this for me and my friends.. From a very concerned group of friends... Hello,

Today a friend of mine was sent from the Netherlands (the Hague) to a
boarding school in North Carolina near a small town called Mars Hill.
All of this was arranged in these past three days. She was sent there
concerning her past issues with her depression.
Me and my friends have been trying to prevent this from happening,
without succes.
The school she’s going to is called Wolf Creek Academy. We’ve been
researching the school on your sit and found this info very disturbing.
Now our main concern is to get her to come back or to get her to go to a
proper school in America.

Her parents refuse to read the information we have found about this
school. There’s been a lot of shadiness about the finances and how she
has gotten her visa so quickly and we’ve been told that the school has
had that arranged for her while the school is not even registered as an
official school…

We haven’t shown this information to the police yet but are planning to
do so this week. The authorities here can’t do very much because she’s
still a minor.

I was wondering if you could send more information about this place that
could be usefull (apart from your site).
I would be very gratefull if you could find the time to do this for me
and my friends..

From a very concerned group of friends…

It's certainly not glamorous, nor should it be. The place has saved my daughter's life. Is it perfect? NO. But overall, we have been VERY pleased with the staff, especially the therapist and most of the house parents. As far as the academics go, it's true that the kids will only get out of it what they choose to put in. It's basically an accredited on-line school that you could use at home, but this is also what a portion of your tuition goes to. Every time I have had a concern or question about my daughter's school work, it has been responded to by staff. From a parent's point of view, it's no different than if your child lives at home. You MUST involve yourself in every aspect of their life, or you won't know what's going on most of the time. It's true that the owner's don't seem to be around that much, but when I have needed Pat Jones for something really important, she has been there and responded. Some of the house parents are better than others, but they are not therapists, nor should they be expected to be. Yes, it is a family business, and there are family members that work there. I have no issue with that. They don't try to hide it. There were highs and lows, but overall I think it was the right place for my daughter at the time, and Sue Scheff is the one that recommended Wolf Creek. I have no opinion about her law suits or business practices, all I know is she helped us find the right place for my kid. My daughter has been at Wolf Creek Academy for 6 months.

It was neither a horrible nor positive experience. If you are looking for a place that is going to really work on improving your child's well being, this is not the place. This program only works if the student wants it to. Wolf Creek is at best just a place to get away. For the $4,000 a month that my mother paid I got expired generic brand food. My counselor saw me maybe once a month. The allegation that this is a "college preparatory school" is completely false. They give you a computer and that is about the extent of your education. They have someone watch over you while you are in "school" but he is not a licensed teacher and cannot answer your questions. Not to mention you have no books or access to any website besides ParkCityIndependent.com the program they we're using at the time. During my stay, there we're girls who reported sexual abuse by the part time house parents. These house parents we're fired but allowed to return to the school and accompany us on trips. I wanted to go to a program when I was sent to WCA. I wholeheartedly believe that the only thing keeping this program going we're the full time house parents (not the one's accused of sexual abuse) at the time. They seemed to be the only staff members that actually cared about the students. I have recently found out that they quit and the current houseparents at the girls school are just the owner's brother and his wife. I did not hate the experience but do not believe that this is a place to send your child. The owner's we're never around and definitely gave me the impression they we're in it for the money.

Same owners, same building and Sue Scheff from PURE is still recommending people to go to these schools and gave me the same line of crap that she gave other parents for Harbor Oaks. You just can't trust anyone. I have done some research and phone calls and found out that Harbor Oaks Boarding School is now called Wolf Creek Academy.

Thanks for taking the time to speak out, even if it's a little. I know it's not always easy. That being said, if you feel up to it, I'm pretty sure isaccorp.org would love to get a statement from you as to what you've experienced. @former student
