Sunset Bay Academy is a long term residential treatment center that offers a comprehensive program: emotional growth for teens and their families, academic development and character building experiences.

Therapy, Academics, Community Service, Health and Family

Our Academy goes beyond a regular boarding school, our goal is not only to achieve a behavioral change in the teens, but to reconnect them with their family, empower their unique qualities and strengths, help them achieve academic success and prepare them to be empathic, honest and strong leaders. To accomplish these goals, we have designed a program that involves essential elements in the development of every teenager

Our Psychotherapeutic program is designed to change behavior from the root, by solving emotional conflicts behind bad behavior, striving at the same time to achieve emotional resilience. At the same time our Academic program allows teens to get back on their feet and catch up with any pending credits and helps them elevate their GPA.

Believing that a healthy mind rests in a healthy body, we include fitness and sports as an important part of our program and we implement them daily, while taking great care of their nutrition.

A complete program achieves a complete change

We encourage our students to polish their talents and come out of their comfort zone by expressing artistically with activities like music, poetry and dance. Also, we motivate them to practice spirituality through workshops and events, and help them develop empathy through participating in community service and fund-raising events for nonprofit organizations.
