HOMETeen Boarding Schools - Private Boarding Schools
Ages 10-13
Residential programs for this age group generally focus on the special issues of younger adolescents, such as the need for security, strong guidance, and a feeling of being safe in talking about their fears, concerns, and problems. With learning disabilities such as ADD, this is a prime age at which to deal with these issues and get your child on track. ADD in particular requires early intervention for efforts to be the most effective.
