Affordable Boarding School for Struggling Girls
Thrive Girls Academy reform school for girls offers life transformation to girls who are struggling with life-impacting and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes. We desire to see every girl reach her God-given potential. Our ministry includes a number of elements, but our overall goal is to see girls prepared to transition successfully back to a normal and healthy lifestyle, whether that be college, ministry, or the workforce. Ideally, we want to see every young girl following God.
Spiritual Direction and Growth
Our reform school for girls has a strongly supportive relationship with a local church, which supports the work and ministry of Thrive Girls Academy and also provides a church home. Girls and staff attend services and participate in mission projects. Girls also work through the Teen Challenge discipleship curriculum as part of the ministry requirements.
Positive Environment
A “Positive Peer Culture” means an environment where making right choices is accepted and encouraged. Girls who have been “following the wrong crowd” into destructive behaviors instead find themselves pushed by their peers toward responsibility, integrity, and growth. We reward positive choices. Our campus promotes teamwork and accountability among students as well.
As they progress through the ministry, girls advance through four levels that govern privileges and indicate progress. To promote a girl to the next level, our staff looks for evidence of personal growth in matters of attitude, character and personal conduct. The final phases carry with it expectations of and training in leadership skills.
Family Restoration
We desire to see families healed and restored. We invite parents to visit with their daughter on campus once each month. These family days give families time to restore relationships within the supportive environment on campus. Parents also have the opportunity to spend time with other parents and with our staff and to receive good counsel.
