About Our Boarding School

Therapeutic Healing and Confidence through Learning How to Work

Ranch life provides the setting for the transformation that happens in boys at Master’s Ranch Christian Academy. Boys live on a working farm and learn responsibility by caring for cattle, pigs, and dogs. We give special attention to using animals in anger management and for healing problems with emotional attachment.

The boarding school program is heavily vocational. The boys learn from general contractors in wood, metal, cement, plumbing, welding, culinary arts, and electrical construction. Often, our boys get the opportunity to put their skills to work in the local economy and earn money.

While attending Master’s Ranch Christian Academy, boys will also get their hunter’s safety permit and driver’s license after completing driver education. Master’s Ranch Christian Academy uses a military-style of organization and discipline. The boys navigate a rank structure through which they gradually earn elevated trust, responsibility, authority, and privilege. Breaking the rules leads to losing benefits.

Master’s Ranch boys are built up in confidence and thoughtfulness, allowing them to successfully return to home life, college, vocational training, the military, or employment. We firmly push them toward a vocation or to move toward more training once they leave Master’s Ranch Christian Academy, which gives them the reason to keep a straight head and their eye on the target for their future, so they don’t fall back into old ways of thinking and acting. We work under the simple philosophy of giving the kids something they don’t want to lose. Whether that be the hope for an exciting future, a trade they love, or a fresh new start in life, boys leave here with a new purpose and desire to be responsible men of God.
