“The school feels like a big family… everyone from their residential coaches to their therapist to their teachers—you know that their passion is working with students. The Mom’s Retreat was life changing for me as a mother.”

“It was the first time in my child’s life that I wasn’t holding my breath expecting the phone call informing me of yet another struggle… Black Mountain rebuilt my child’s self-esteem and gave him the confidence to launch after graduation.”

“The staff at Black Mountain worked to rebuild my child’s self-esteem and create experiences that allowed him to experience success… Today, my son is living independently in college with the skills to navigate whatever comes next.”

“After leaving BMA, our son graduated high school on time, got his driver’s license, and is now in college with a 3.0 GPA… He has enjoyed keeping up with a few friends from BMA, which is really special for him.”

“BMA works to directly improve the whole young man and indirectly his support system… We rest easy at night knowing our son is in the most capable and caring hands.”

“We are so grateful for BMA’s nurturing and transformative program… In a remarkably short time, we’ve seen our son make progress socially, emotionally, and academically.”

“I love Black Mountain because my child is safe, genuinely cared for, and showing amazing growth. I believe as a direct result of the progress he’s shown there, someday he’ll be able to live on his own.”

“The caring, insightful, and patient leadership team deeply understands the needs of our child. Black Mountain Academy gives our family tools to communicate and connect while supporting our son’s journey toward independence.”

“The flexibility of the staff, the positive and empathetic way they show up for my child on a daily basis just blows me away. I am continually impressed by how thoughtful and intentional every staff member has been.”

“Our child’s therapist has been fantastic… I can trust that he has our child’s best interests at heart in a way that I have never been able to do before. Words cannot adequately express what a help that is for me as a parent.”
