Why a residential middle school?
The middle school years are a difficult time for many pre-adolescent children. This is especially true for young girls. Family and sibling relationships, peer influence and pressure, hormonal and physical development, media image and expectation and academic demands create a strong scenario for anger, frustration and doubt. For girls who face the additional obstacles of social or emotional immaturity, instability and challenges in the academic setting, structure and environment are critical to their growth and development. New Leaf Academy provides young girls with the support, direction, and environment they need to achieve social and academic success. Our programs are among the best all girl boarding schools and are places for troubled teenage girls to get the help they need.
