| How can you achieve success in 9-12 months when it takes other schools of this type much longer? |
The maximum number of students that we will ever have is 24. This gives your son the advantage of receiving focused individual coaching and counseling on a daily basis. We also use methods and teach tools that are unique to Eagle's Nest School which assist in creating more rapid healing and change than other traditional methods of forced compliance and forced behavioral change.

| What is this "Individualized Special Healing Work" or "Tai Yi Energy Work" that you offer? |
While new to western cultures, this wisdom and its non-invasive techniques has been known in the Chinese culture for thousands of years. These techniques are much like how acupuncture can assist the physical body, yet without the needles. The Chinese name for this work is Tai Yi - the Western name is Life Energy Flow. The use of these techniques by those trained in this ancient Chinese work is an important aspect to the overall outcome of Eagle's Nest School.

| Does my son have to have Tai Yi Energy Work done? |
No, in fact he must request to have this work done. Your son will be taught about the nature and the benefits of having this work done, but nothing is ever forced upon your son. We teach that each person is responsible for making their own choices either for their benefit or their detriment.

| Are you licensed by any agencies? |
We are licensed by the State of Colorado, Department of Human Services - Child Care Division as a Residential Child Care Facility. The Child Care Division inspects Eagle's Nest School on a regular, but unannounced, basis and you will be given the name and contact information for the supervisor familiar with our facility.

| Are background checks done on your employees? |
Yes. Before any person becomes an employee their background is checked by either the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). No person will be hired who has had a history of child abuse or who is otherwise rejected by the Department of Human Resources.

| Are scholarships available? |

| Will my son be able to catch up on his school work? |
Yes, absolutely. One of the benefits of our school is that your son can both catch-up and advance on their academic achievement. Because they devote 5 hours per day, 4 days per week on school work, even during the summer months, we find that most boys will advance academically more rapidly than they are used to. [Read more...]

| Will the credits that my son receives for his school work be transferable? |
Yes. Our Academic Director will receive your son's transcripts from their school and then call the school to which your son will return to make sure that all of their credits earned while at Eagle's Nest School will be transferable to that school. [Read more...]

| Why are the Parent Workshops so important? |
Without parents being committed to creating a new relationship with their son, the opportunity for success is dramatically reduced. As with the boys, we do not engage in judgment or blame with parents or other family members. It is crucial, however, that each member of the family dedicates themselves to a new family dynamic while their son is with us at Eagle's Nest School. Parent Workshops are offered every 3 months as an opportunity for each parent and older sibling to be assisted in this family re-creation . In order to achieve the most positive outcome for your son and family, we highly encourage each parent to attend at least two of these workshops to learn the basic tools of the change process and to be taught alternative parenting techniques. Attending one of the workshops is a prerequisite for the Warranty Program. [Read more...]

| Do I have to pay for my attendance at the Parent Workshops? |
Attendance at the Parent Workshops for parents, guardians, siblings over 16 or grandparents is part of the tuition. Your travel and room and board costs are your responsibility.

| What is the Parent and Family Coaching? |

We have selected a number of professional Parent and Family Coaches that have the proven ability to assist you to do that work. [Read more...]

Second are chores such as cleaning, helping and learning to cook, outdoor work, etc. The third part is the academic school work. Fourth is the emotional healing work, including group and individual coaching and counseling, and the Tai Yi energy work. And fifth are the recreational activities such as obstacle courses, sports, hiking, skiing or snowboarding, fishing, inside games, creative endeavors, and occasional field trips.

| Does Eagle's Nest School have any religious or spiritual affiliation? |
We teach that in order for one to heal and live a balanced life one must develop and practice a strong spiritual set of values. We honor all religious and spiritual beliefs and practices, but we do not suggest any one practice over another. We believe that each boy must make their own choices while listening to and honoring their parent's values.
