PROVEN RESULTS
Academic progress is often one of the first things to suffer when a student is dealing with problems like lack of respect, depression, or behavioral issues. At Resolution Ranch, we understand your son’s unique emotional and academic needs. Our educators are college-minded and future-focused to help your child recover school credits and continue on a successful path to graduation, college, and beyond.

OUR ACADEMIC APPROACH
We are proud to offer the PLATO® curriculum (now EDMENTUM). This instructional program and online assessment tool creates successful learning opportunities for every child. Working in an online environment, students remain engaged and motivated. They receive the individualized attention they need to address areas of weakness and celebrate strengths. Whether students are struggling, are on grade-level or need acceleration, PLATO solutions can personalize an academic plan aligned to the student’s home state standards. Online reporting and tracking afford instructors the ability to monitor student progress and mastery, as well as share status updates with parents, administrators and schools. In addition, Resolution Ranch offers individual tutoring and consult
Students attend school for a minimum of 20 hours per week with an extra five hours of instruction available as needed. Your son’s curriculum is tailored to his grade level and customized to address any issues (such as ADHD, problems with authority, depression, etc.), that may be hindering his academic progress. To ensure students get the individualized attention they need, our classes are offered in a small setting. All our courses are fully transferrable to any public, private or boarding school in the U.S., so students won’t fall behind.

CONTENT MASTERY
Your son will focus on one subject at a time, proceeding to the next only when he’s received a 70% passing grade or higher. Each semester course is expected to take 30 working days, and students are given deadlines that reflect course pacing expectations. If a student struggles in meeting their academic potentials, we work to address the underlying cause. Problems in the classroom are usually indicative of problems elsewhere, so our instructors, therapists, and Direct Care workers are in constant communication, meeting weekly and beyond, to discuss student progress. By identifying his individual needs, we help your son’s education become a mark of accomplishment and a source of new-found confidence essential to his recovery.
SAT AND ACT PREPARATION + 1X1 TUTORING
For students readying to graduate high school and enter college, our instructors include SAT and ACT preparation into their academic plan. Students who feel they need more guidance in these or any other subjects can request additional time with our instructors. 1×1 tutoring is available to them during regular school hours, or after class for a wider block of time.
HANDS-ON LEARNING
Creating an immersive, engaging environment is essential to a student’s progress. Students at Resolution Ranch experience a number of hands-on learning opportunities, from our three-times-a-week group activities that include art classes or athletics, to electives that encourage them to explore other interests. Those who have been at the Ranch longer earn the responsibility of mentoring and guiding newer students, which encourages self-learning through helping others.
