Boulder Creek Academy (BCA) is a residential boarding school nestled in the Cabinet Mountains of North Idaho.
We pride ourselves on developing and implementing individualized academic and emotional programming for students in need while also supporting families through this challenging process.
Because of this need, the primary goal for the families that we work with center on developing and sustaining lifelong strategies for the school and home environment.
Our academic, program and clinical team work in unison to target specific behavioral and academic patterns which, in turn, assists in developing sound treatment planning.
This individualized programming approach allows us to meet the specific learning needs of each child, while fostering the opportunity for sound relationships to be established with students and families.
This intimate process increases the likelihood that these individuals will experience success in the future.
Through establishing rapport, and the continuation of maintaining a safe and positive learning environment, the BCA experience is one which families rely on for their child's success.
