Ridge Creek School is proud that we were the first therapeutic school in the country to apply for and receive accreditation by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). We feel that this definitely paved the way for greater op opportunities for all struggling students to receive placement consideration and acceptance at colleges and traditional boarding schools.
SACS is now known as AdvancED and our 5 year reaccreditation team has just left campus. We are very pleased that not only are they recommending us for continued accreditation but that they commended us for the remarkable commitment of all staff to the success of Ridge Creek School students. They were especially impressed by our professional atmosphere where students feel concern, care and respect from adults. All students who were interviewed said that they would rather be somewhere else especially during the first 6-8 weeks but when asked if in 3-5 years they would look back on this as a positive experience, all students interviewed resoundingly said "YES".
Situated on 210 picturesque acres in the North Georgia Mountains, Ridge Creek Therapeutic School is a truly unique and effective program for teens in crisis, utilizing the tranquility of its pristine setting to promote the security and serenity that accompany self-discovery, self-awareness, and recovery.
