An Outstanding Education is Part of the Cure
 
Kolob Canyon Residential Treatment Center believes that a challenging, stimulating educational program can be another important key to restoring balance and health to our students. We provide high quality, fully accredited educational programs, including traditional academic studies, a rich fine-arts curriculum, French classes, and computer aided instruction. Special attention is paid to meeting the needs of each individual student. Our goal is to develop positive self-esteem in a climate that stimulates creativity and individuality. Our philosophy is based on the belief that each child has unique capabilities and talents and that a wide variety of experiences are needed to help children discover and enhance their talents. We help each child to experience success that can be applied to all aspects of the educational and clinical programs. Academic expectations are high, and with the guidance of a highly trained and caring staff, students learn and master the necessary skills to prepare them for the future while they become clinically stable.

Kolob Canyon School Education Program
 
The Kolob Canyon School is child-focused rather than curriculum-focused. A broad enrichment program of art, science, horsemanship, French, and drama give our students opportunities for success that empower them to succeed elsewhere. Teachers are carefully selected based on their expertise and love for what they teach. Most importantly, the program is a place where students feel loved and respected, based on our belief that a child that feels loved will eagerly want to learn and will feel self-confident in doing so. Kolob Canyon programs are offered in a supportive and stimulating environment dedicated to:

• Helping students develop high-level thinking skills so that the process of learning applies to all aspects of life outside school.
• Establishing a well-balanced environment that nurtures positive self-esteem.
• Providing a climate that stimulates creativity and is supportive of the unique qualities of each child.
• Making teachers and students accountable for the mastery of basic academic skills.
• Creating a democratic environment that promotes respect for others.

This child-focused, principle-centered approach to teaching children allows Kolob Canyon to rekindle a love of learning in students that frequently struggle in traditional academic settings.
