Troubled Teen Boarding Schools in California

Troubled Teen Boarding Schools for Boys in California May Not Have What Master’s Ranch in Missouri Has

Although this troubled teen boarding school is not located in California, Master’s Ranch in Missouri may be exactly what that can help your boy if he’s getting in trouble and have gotten off track in life.

Master's Ranch Christian AcademyMaster’s Ranch is a boarding school for troubled teenage boys, for boys from California. While our academy is in rural Missouri, rather than in California, we would love the opportunity to tell you about our affordable program.

If your son has gotten off track, he needs someone trustworthy who will hear him and speak truth to him without judgment. We provide therapy throughout the week, both individual and also in a group setting. Throughout each boy’s stay, we engage them constantly as someone they can talk to freely, making therapy non-threatening and ongoing in a more natural environment. We maintain a watchful eye, especially in the early days, but we do so while giving them loving care and encouraging them toward a personal relationship with God. We work like a family, loving these boys unconditionally and walking through the days right with them, coaching and instructing them.

Master’s Ranch is Designed to Offer Boys from California a New Start in Life

Master's Ranch Christian AcademyMaster’s Ranch is a second home for adolescent boys from places like California, who need proper direction to make a new start for themselves. Parents enroll their boys, age 12-17, to Master’s Ranch after learning that the’ve begin to get in trouble and headed on a downward spiral that cannot be helped by counseling alone.

Boys from California come to our boarding school to live in a disciplined environment, learning respect for authority and personal responsibility through a renewed focus on faith, caring for themselves and their future, and through caring for the animals on our ranch. We treat education as a privilege, and we teach boys to think about it in the same way.

Troubled Boys spend a lot of their free time outdoors, playing sports, and just learning how to have healthy fun again.

Physical Training in our Troubled Teen Boarding School

Master's Ranch Christian AcademyWe start with physical exercise with the goal of bringing boys up to a basic level of fitness. They build muscle, their self-esteem improves, and they gain something positive as they begin to meet fitness goals. The same concepts also work well in other areas. In work projects and vocational skills and even in school, their accomplishments build confidence so that boys are built up.

Helping Boys Begin Thinking About Appropriate Boundaries

MRCA goes beyond traditional boarding schools in that it helps boys to mentally understand the results of bad behaviors. Their thinking straightens out and their inappropriate behavior is replaced with character and integrity. Teens at Master’s Ranch have a reason to succeed.

Academic Training for Boys from California

ranch for troubled boysWe have excellent teachers on staff who offer instruction and one-on-one tutoring attention to the students. At Master’s Ranch, we accommodate both ends of the academic spectrum. The flexible curriculum allows students who may be having difficulty with certain subjects to master them and catch up. Advanced coursework and college-prep programs are scheduled for those who succeed academically and desire to get ahead.

Our boarding school operates year-round, to keep students engaged and to give them the opportunity to catch up or retake courses and improve their grade point average. During normal summer break we run a half-day academic schedule to allow time for projects, sports and recreation.

Troubled Boys from California Learn from Vocational Training

boys ranch and homeAfter the boys are at the ranch for a time, they have a chance for work experience in select businesses nearby. It allows them to exercise their new coping skills and to earn money to help them once they leave the ranch. Every dime they earn is put into an account that they take home with them when they go home. The ranch itself also provides some vocational opportunities for the young men to learn from, including handling the cattle, construction, pedigree dog breeding, and farming. The boys are trained marketable skills and self-confidence from these endeavors.

At Master’s Ranch Spiritual Training Leads to Improved Behaviors in Troubled Boys

Teens participate in regular devotions and weekly church services, so they have opportunities to ask questions about God and discover a relationship with Jesus. We provide biblical counseling and person-to-person mentorship and spiritual guidance.

California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is by far the most populous U.S. state, and the third most extensive (after Alaska and Texas). It is home to the nation’s second- and sixth-largest census statistical areas (Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and San Francisco Bay Area), and eight of the nation’s fifty most populated cities (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach and Oakland).Cite webDead link] The capital city is Sacramento.
California’s diverse geography ranges from the Pacific Coast in the west, to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the eastfrom the RedwoodDouglas-fir forests of the northwest, to the Mojave Desert areas in the southeast. The center of the state is dominated by Central Valley, a major agricultural area. California contains both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States (Mount Whitney and Death Valley), and has the third-longest coastline of all states (after Alaska and Florida). Earthquakes are a common occurrence due to the state’s location along the Pacific Ring of Fire: about 37,000 are recorded annually.
The name California once referred to a large area of North America claimed by Spain that included much of modern-day Southwestern United States and the Baja California peninsula. Beginning in the late 18th century, the area known as Alta California, comprising the California territory north of the Baja Peninsula, was colonized by the Spanish Empire as part of New Spain. In 1821, Alta California became a part of Mexico following its successful war for independence. Shortly after the beginning of the Mexican-American War in 1846, a group of American settlers in Sonoma declared an independent California Republic in Alta California. Though its existence was short-lived, its flag became the precursor for California’s current state flag. American victory in the war led to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which Mexico ceded Alta California to the United States. Western areas of Alta California became the state of California, which was admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850.
The California Gold Rush beginning in 1848 led to dramatic social and demographic change, with large scale immigration from the U.S. and abroad and an accompanying economic boom. Key developments in the early 20th century included the emergence of Los Angeles as the center of the American entertainment industry, and the growth of a large, state-wide tourism sector. The late 20th century saw the development of the technology and information sectors, punctuated by the growth of Silicon Valley. In addition to California’s prosperous agricultural industry, other important contributors to its economy include aerospace, education, and manufacturing. If California were a country, it would be the eighth-largest economy in the world and the 35th most populous nation. At least half of the fresh fruit produced in the United States are cultivated in California, and it also leads in the production of vegetables.

Testimonials

“The good results I see from Master’s Ranch Christian Academy far exceed anything I ever first imagined. At a time when it seems many of today’s youth are unwilling to work it’s a delight to know that Master’s Ranch teaches young individuals about the importance of hard work, honesty, and, foremost, the love of God.”

Fred O’Neill
Prosecuting Attorney

“We are so very thankful for you, your family, and all the staff at Master’s Ranch Christian Academy. As a father of a young man that graduated from the ranch, we are forever in your debt.”

Parent Of Former Student

“I grew up in Pensacola Florida, and was sent to stay at Master’s Ranch in late 2014 by my parents. Having already been in another program, I admit I was bitter and worse than I had been before.”

Jason H.
Student

“I am a wife, mother, sister, and my favorite role has always been a mother to my son. Once a troubled teen, drugs, sex, and much worse. That’s when we made the decision to take him to Master’s Ranch.”

Tracy Carpenter – Mobley
Parent

“I was lost! I mean everything from drugs, alcohol, gangs, gang violence, women, stealing and pornography. I was also in another program where I was accused of being manipulative behind staffs back and they kicked me out.”

Stephan Delaware
Student

“Our son is a bright, athletic, and very social young man who during his sophomore year in high school started having difficulties. His grades dropped dramatically and his attitude was deteriorating equally fast.”

Jeff And Brenda
Parent

“Words cannot describe the thankfulness I have for all that you have done for me in my life. I am only alive today and not in prison because of you. Had Master’s Ranch and Christian Academy not been started, I would have gone through with the hit job in Texas that morning and I would be in prison, but instead I am in Bible college serving God. When I had arrived at the ranch I did not want to be there, but now I am so thankful I had been sent to you.”

JP
Student

“My name is Kim R., we lived in California because my husband was in the Air Force. We were the average family. I was a stay-at-home mom, I was able to care for my kids and get them to where they needed to be. We kept them busy with sports and always supported them in what they participated in. Mitch is the middle child, caring, funny, and always looking for attention.”

Kim R.
Parent

“I was sent to the Masters Ranch because I was getting into drugs pretty heavily. I started out my rebellion by not coming home on time. I wanted to “hang out” with my friends and that became more important to me than listening to my parents. If my mom would not have made the difficult decision to send me here I am positive I would have wrecked my brain to the point of being mentally insane.”
