The school focuses on what really matters: helping kids discover who they are, what they love, and what they're capable of. I love how the environment encourages curiosity, independence, and confidence. The kids are given the space and support to explore their interests and develop their unique skills, instead of being placed into a one-size-fits-all system. It's beautiful to see children excited to learn and proud of what they're accomplishing. As a parent, it means everything to know my son is in a place where he feels supported, inspired, and understood. We are so grateful to be part of the Apogee Henderson community.

In terms of academics, we are overjoyed with how much hands on learning he is doing in his own classroom and the specialty classes. Most days he comes home with marker, paint, and glue on his uniform -- a sure sign of a great day. The curriculum challenges and interests him and he's encouraged to use his imagination. The ratio of teachers to students is wonderful. When he needs help a teacher is available to guide him. But what really makes this school special is the people. From the moment you walk in you are met with smiling faces, a friendly greeting, the feeling you and your kid belongs. You can see that the teachers and the administrators are happy to be there and that feeling extends to the kids. To see my son skipping in and out of school is magical. The school becomes part of your child's and your community. There are lots of special days and activities to get the kids excited to be a part of something.

I had an amazing review written & Yelp didn't save the draft.... GRRRR!…read more I'm guessing if you are reading this, like us, you not only lost beautiful, talented, smiling daughter, but also the expected future all of you were working toward. Yes? We are 1.5 years out from our girl coming home from Red Hawk (RH). I am very comfortable in saying that the difficult decision of sending her to Red Hawk not only saved our daughter's life, but also saved our family. While it has been full of ups and downs, it also keeps getting better and better. Not in obvious ways, but, when we think back to how we all behaved before RH, it is easy to see how far we have come. Its kind of like being away from your infant and noticing just how much they grew. I'm a DIY person, so to put it in terms of saving an old & beautiful home... Red Hawk is the qualified specialty contractor that works with a damaged & crumbling foundation. RH takes the time to figure out the root of the damage, fix the underlying problem, then strengthen and rebuild the foundation. That may seems like a small thing especially given the cost, but think of all the new possibilities that old house can have for a long future... IT IS PRICELESS! Red Hawk doesn't roll back time to give you a "fixed" version of your daughter, BUT, you will likely have to have a daughter that can handle events of the past and move toward building a new and different future. As a parent, can you hope for anything more? Finally, I want to share the most important and hardest things we have learned since our girl came home: 1. Stop grieving for the little girl of the past. She will be hyper-sensitive to your cues. It under-cuts her progress to be reminded of something she can never be again. 2. She did the hard work at RH, now is the parents turn to work hard. Mostly we struggled at changing our knee-jerk reactions, respecting the 'new' person she is and building trust. IT IS HARD, but so very worth it! (The work is not just with your girl, but also with each other, her sibs and extended family...yep. But, it does get easier.) 3. Listen to her when she speaks, recap and ask if what you think she said is what she means. Especially if If you are adding meaning between her words. It is easy to apply a grown-up's understanding and thoughts when she is speaking as a teenager. When I added my interpretation of her words to our conversations, it was eye-opening to see how much better our overall relationship became. 4. She will want to vent her emotions - stay with her the whole time without provoking her. Be patient and somewhat detached so you don't escalate the explosion.. Let her use her words even if they hurt. Once the steam has blown-off, patiently bring her back to have a conversation of what she needs wants or has going on. (Early on it was one of the only times she was honest with her thoughts.) 5. Do not spoon feed her solutions. Let her work for the best outcome for HER, not you. 6. Remove the word "just" from your vocabulary. Think about a sentence when its used, I bet 9 out of 10 times it implies her efforts are worthless and make her feel like she is a failure. (I learned the hard way when she spat the words back at me while blowing-off a head of steam.) Going back to the "old House" analogy: We have the foundation repaired. The structure is being fixed or replaced, and now we are working together on a better flow to the floorplan. Its hard living in a construction project, but all of us look forward to the picking wall colors & furniture! We are forever grateful to everyone at Red Hawk!

My daughter has just returned after a year stay at Red Hawk Academy and I wanted to write this…read morereview to share my family's experience with other parents who are considering making the painful decision to send their child away. I can't begin to describe the transformation my daughter has gone through following her stay at Red Hawk. Like many teens at Red Hawk, she suffered from a multitude of psychological disorders including drug/alcohol abuse. We tried all the inpatient treatment and outpatient programs our insurance provided but she never got better and was increasingly getting worse. We knew we had to do something drastic to protect her from herself. After a lot of online research and reading all the reviews I was able to scour online, I decided to come and visit Red Hawk which is a locked teen residential facility for girls in Arizona with a maximum of 24 students. It was important for me to find a place that did not have a high population, and one that was not short term. It also offered an online schooling program called Edgenuity that is a platform that home schools kids use and the credits obtained would transfer easily to her school upon her return. Red Hawk has a handbook which they give out to the parents once they enroll explaining their program and philosophy. You should take the time to read it while visiting the school. I think of Red Hawk in terms of a military academy because of its strict rules and promotion/demotion style of governing. This regimented structure contributed greatly to the success of rehabilitating my daughter. The difference, however, between Red Hawk and a military academy, is that there is genuine love and compassion from the owners and their guidance is reflected among the staff. In acknowledgment, I would like to thank Valerie for teaching my daughter the coping skills to manage her life and for us to communicate effectively as a family through therapy, Thank you Sonny for teaching my daughter life skills that she would never had pursued at home like construction or car maintenance. The girls actually get paid and earn "Sonny" money which they can spend throughout their stay or given to them upon their return home. Thank you Mel for teaching my daughter to ride horses and for your love and support. Thank you Candy Val for your guidance and advice during drug counseling therapy. Thank you Junior for teaching my daughter to cook some amazing dishes and lastly thank you Anita and Dr. Joyce for your all your help in shaping my daughter into the person that she is today. During the last few months of her stay, my daughter earned the privilege of being a mentor, and as her mentee lamented that this was the 12th program she was sent to, my daughter advised her that if she put in the work, this will be her LAST one. It was not an easy journey for my daughter and the separation was necessary for her to self reflect and to change her ways. If you need more information, please contact Red Hawk and they can send you my contact. I am happy to help in any way I can.

SVHS is an online high school. It is fully accredited and…read moreNCAA & UC (a-g) approved. Online courses are $125 each (as of August 2022). My 8th grade son is currently taking a Geometry Course through SVHS. Since his current public school does not offer geometry to middle school students it was recommended that we look into an online program. After doing quite a bit of research we came across the following programs that were repeatedly mentioned online (I listed the price per course or per semester) * SVHS ($125) * BYU independent study ($195) * Excel High ($299) * Apex ($380) * EPIC ($399) Based on what other parents posted online it seems like the experience is pretty much the same all across-the-board: * Self paced. There is a recommended schedule for completing each lesson and doing all the assignments but this is entirely up to the student. I believe there's a one-year limit to finish the course. * Learning material consists of videos, written lesson plans/pdfs. Most of the material is not original material created by the school, but rather repurposed material that exists on youtube * Exams consist of multiple-choice quizzes (10 questions each) that give you instant results, unit tests (25 questions each) that give you instant results, and a final exam. * Homework - every "unit" (aka chapter) has an assignment that you must submit which is graded by a real human. They say that it takes 2 to 3 days for someone to grade your work, but our experience has been longer. The amount of homework is significantly less than what you get in a traditional school. They do encourage you to take the quizzes as many times as you like to ensure that you are learning the material. While some of the programs above offer a human tutor that will either respond to your email questions or meet with you over zoom, my impression is that the tutors are hit or miss in terms of quality. Personally I would not choose a program (SVHS or any of the others above) expecting to have a great tutor. In my opinion... SVHS is for: * Self-disciplined and self-motivated students. Or a student with a parent who has the time to ensure that your student is staying on top of things. * Students who learn well asynchronously. Remember, none of the classes are live. Your student will review the material on their own time. * Students who do not have access to a particular course offered at their current school. In our case, geometry is not offered to eighth graders but my son really enjoys math and wanted to challenge himself * Students who need to take an accredited UC A-G approved course that will count towards high school and maybe even college. SVHS is NOT for: * Students who need live teaching and having more interaction with teachers, tutors, and other students. * Students who need structure and who need to be held accountable to attend and complete assignments * Students who need tutoring or hands-on support outside of the classroom * Students who are looking for an amazing learning experience. The material, from our experience, is pretty basic. It feels more like you are doing the minimum to "check the box" rather than to have an enriching learning experience Overall we are pleased because it has met our expectations. But our expectations (getting access to a course that is not offered elsewhere, getting UC A-G credit, flexibility/convenience) might differ from others.

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. I sincerely wish I had read the reviews before…read moreenrolling my son in a summer course to create more room in his regular school-year schedule. My son accidentally failed to upload the second part of an assignment and initially received a zero. When he was notified, he promptly corrected the mistake and resubmitted the completed assignment. He then took the final exam before the assignment was regraded. Although the teacher later reviewed the assignment and gave him very positive feedback, the school refused to replace the zero because he had already taken the final. My son earned A's on every other assignment and completed this assignment well, yet this single zero lowered his course grade from an A to a B. This was not a work ethic, ability, or quality issue. It was entirely a timing issue involving work that was ultimately completed and positively evaluated. I contacted the school and asked them to consider these circumstances. Unfortunately, Meagan, the Assistant Head of School, was dismissive and unwilling to consider any reasonable exception. The school chose to preserve a procedural technicality instead of allowing the grade to reflect the work my son actually completed. I will not use this program again. I strongly encourage other parents to read the reviews carefully and understand the school's grading and final-exam policies before enrolling. A procedural mistake can have a lasting effect on a student's transcript and GPA, even when the student completes the work and earns positive feedback. I am extremely disappointed by the school's lack of flexibility and concern for a student who worked hard and did everything asked of him.
