Supportive Boarding Schools

Supportive Boarding Schools – The School Solution

Watching your son or daughter struggle with emotional and/or behavioral challenges can be a painful and upsetting experience. You’ve probably tried discussing it with them, trying out therapeutic methods, and dozens of other options in hopes of helping them. When these yield little to no results in their wellbeing, it can be devastating.

You don’t know what to do now. You may have considered boarding school, but that idea can be very daunting. There are so many options, and it’s a huge decision to make. However, it is important to remember that no matter how difficult it is, you are not alone.

Supportive Boarding Schools Can Help

If your son or daughter is struggling with language-based, social-emotional or other learning disabilities, supportive boarding schools may be the best option for them. Supportive boarding schools differ from therapeutic boarding schools in that they run on a regular school schedule and have normal breaks throughout the year. They do not include family therapy but instead focus a bit more on learning difficulties. Lessons are highly individualized, with modifications being made to account for each student’s specific learning needs.

The unique academic structure of supportive boarding schools can help adolescents who have previously struggled in traditional school settings. The pace of these schools can be rigorous or more laid back, they may be college prep-focused or include more therapeutic aspects, and they are located all over the country. When it comes to choosing which supportive boarding school is right for your son or daughter, no parent should have to do it alone.

Owned by therapeutic educational consultant Karen Mabie, The School Solution was created to help struggling adolescents find the educational and/or therapeutic setup that is best for them. Karen works with families whose child (ages 11 to 26) is struggling despite their best efforts at home.
