For some of our students who have turned 18 while pursuing their high school diploma at Black Mountain Academy, we offer an option of working with our partner program, Intrepid. Our team at Black Mountain Academy will help you assess whether Intrepid is the right option for your child and family. We can explore a plan that includes the completion of high school alongside increasing independence with the support needed to successfully transition into adulthood.
Intrepid offers an individualized approach for young adults ages 18-25, focusing on connection, pursuing independence, and developing a well-rounded lifestyle. We provide a supportive community experience invested in the goals that each young adult identifies for themselves. Entering young adulthood is at once an incredible adventure while also being, at times, a daunting experience that requires courage, strength, and tenacity. We work with young adults to embody courage in the face of adversity, endurance in hard times, and fortitude in pursuing one’s goals.
