About

Our mission at Maple Lake Academy for Boys is to offer the highest quality clinical and academic programs for students who are struggling with challenges with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral problems. Students who enroll must have diagnosis/traits of learning disability (LD, LDNOS, PDDNOS, NLD, Autism Spectrum Disorder) in conjunction with emotional/behavioral issues (such as depression, anxiety, OCD, ODD, social phobia, bipolar disorder, etc.) Students who have histories of aggression toward staff or peers in previous placements or school settings, have active eating disorders, or are currently using drugs are not appropriate candidates for Maple Lake Academy for Boys. Maple Lake Academy for Boys offers an excellent clinical program that includes weekly individual and family therapies, several group therapies per week, recreation therapy four times a week and equine therapy three times a week. We also provide weekly specialty groups that focus on life skills and social skills developments. Students are also involved in assorted leisure and skill-building opportunities. Our academic program truly focuses on the individual. Each student participates in developing a SEOP (student educational occupational plan) that is formulated to help the student address unique learning challenges. In addition, each student will become an expert about learning disabilities and will have coping strategies in hand when his/her program is completed. A main focus at Maple Lake Academy for Boys is to help each student develop the ability to advocate for themselves in future academic and employment situations. Our residential program is also an intensive program that teaches daily living skills and social/ communications skills. Our staff are well trained in working with our student population and have the knowledge, patience, consistency, and nurturance needed to work with our students. We are dedicated to our students and families!
