At-risk Girls' Boarding School: The Academy at Sisters

The Academy at Sisters is a small school for troubled girls ages 13 to 18, providing emotional, behavioral and academic services.  The Academy was founded in 1994 in beautiful Bend, Oregon, at the base of the Three Sisters Mountains, Faith, Hope and Charity.  Our Lodge and Read campuses have a capacity of approximately 25 girls each.  We teach students to, "learn from the past, plan for the future, and live responsibly in the present".  

Extraordinary Times

We understand that the past two years have been financially difficult for most Americans and boarding schools are not cheap (even if ours is less expensive than most).  However, the reasons to place a young woman in our care do not diminish with personal economics.  Family stress, created by monetary burdens, can make the need for our program even more acute.  Call us at 800-910-0412 or 541-389-2748 to discuss options that you have or visit Loan Center.  We commit to working with you so that your financial situation is not the impediment to sending your daughter to our program.
