Teen Harvest is a small Christian boarding school for boys who are struggling in some way.

We only accept boys who want to be here; this is a very desirable environment for boys who want to feel appreciated and protected.

We operate somewhat like "a family that home-schools." We do not function as an "institution".

Our standards are very high both educationally, spiritually and environmentally.

School Notes

While we accept boys whose parents are looking for a safe environment for a son who has special needs of any kind, we only accept boys who recognize their need and want to "belong" to our "family". Since Christ and the Bible are central to our life, school and activities, students must be willing to participate in Bible study, worship and praise and attending church, Christian concerts and activities.
