The Enrollment Process

Why do parents look for enrollment into boarding schools for troubled teens? Their precious child has turned into a monster that they don't even recognize and the family has been turned upside down. At ALA we restore the child back to the premise of emotional maturity; being responsible for oneself, and hold oneself and others accountable to every decision they make. Abundant Life Academy is the environment where we deal with issues of entitlement, with the goal of restoring your troubled teen back to the path of personal success. At Abundant Life Academy we instill the principles of appreciation, respect, integrity, truthfulness, and submission to parental authority.

The first step toward enrollment is to go to the application page of our web site. Once our admissions department receives your enrollment application, and one of our Admissions Coordinators will contact you within 24 hours and answer any enrollment questions that you may have. At this time we ask that you begin to pray, seeking God’s perfect will. You can count that we will also be praying, seeking God’s will regarding the enrollment of your child. We will inform you of our enrollment decision soon after receiving and reviewing your submitted enrollment application.

Your best bet is to again contact 888-305-6729 and our enrollment counselors will coach you through the process of arranging for travel and save you some money. Many of our parents choose to accompany their teen to Abundant Life Academy, where they meet the staff and tour the campus. There are plenty of wonderful accommodations near the Abundant Life Academy campus. If you are not able to accompany your teen there are professional escorts that we can recommend.

 

The monthly tuition fee covers the cost of providing 24 hour/7 day professional supervision, Christian leadership training, academic instruction, vocational instruction, housing, meals, transportation, tutoring, and recreational activities. Most Christian boarding schools do not cover the cost of transportation, tutoring, or recreational activities in their monthly tuition. Our monthly tuition fee also covers the cost of vocation development, school supplies, and off campus activities. As you already know, dealing with troubled teens demands a tremendous amount of supervision. The majority of the cost to care for your child goes to cover the cost of staff that supervise and ensure the health, safety, and welfare of your child. We consider Abundant Life Academy to be the fresh alternative to the traditional Christian boarding school, serving troubled teens that have a sense of entitlement.

As with most boarding schools, Abundant Life Academy requires a one-time enrollment fee. This fee covers a variety of upfront costs that are generally associated with setting up a new student-leader, as well as to cover on-going unforeseen costs while your teen is enrolled in Abundant Life Academy. These costs include transportation to and from the airport, bedding and linen, bathroom and hygiene supplies, Christian CD's, and other miscellaneous incidental costs.

Unlike most other boarding school programs Academic curriculum is an expense that "will be" covered in the monthly tuition fee. Essentially, the course work your child will complete is fully accredited, accepted in all 50 states, and all our course work has been accepted by local school districts. Many of our students receive their high school diploma while enrolled with Abundant Life Academy.

Parents are required to provide seasonal clothing, sleeping bags, sunglasses, gloves, and other such items. Upon the award of enrollment each family will be given a comprehensive list of what is acceptable and appropriate to bring with him or her upon enrollment.

 

Abundant Life Academy has teamed up with Masternet Foundation, a non-profit scholarship program that allows family and friends, and other organizations, to donate money on behalf of the student’s family in order to help them over the cost of tuition. The donor receives a tax-deductible receipt for donation, which can be a tremendous value to the donor. In the case of donations made to MasterNet on the behalf of a student and his/her family, everyone wins. The donor wins, the family wins, and the student wins. Also, you might be interested in obtaining a loan to pay for your child’s educational needs. For more information about loans please contact Donna Zetts, CFO This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Once you have enrolled your child into Abundant Life Academy you will need to be introduced to all of the policies and procedures of Abundant Life Academy. You will need to know about everything your child is going through in his/her first few weeks and beyond. There are a lot of details that you will need to be aware of and need to be a part of. Again, you will need to contact Admissions at 888-305-6729 to get all of the details on how to proceed.

Shortly after your teen’s enrollment, the Abundant Life Academy Family Representative will contact you and walk you through the next phase. Most parents have a difficult time coping with all the issues surrounding the enrollment and departure of their child. It is very understandable, and we want you to know you are not alone.
