Our Mission
The Mission of The Pinnacle Schools, Inc. is to develop adolescents who are self-directed, educated and contributing members of society. To support this mission, we resolve to provide an environment of respect, acceptance, skill development and challenge which fosters the personal development and emotional growth of our students. We are one component of a continuum of growth for struggling teens and their families.
The Pinnacle Schools, Inc. was founded in the spring of 2005 by a group of caring professionals committed to effective and affordable high quality services for struggling teens. The programs of TPS are empirically derived for the assessment and treatment of struggling teens. The health and safety of your child is of paramount importance. To this end, we use the outdoors and the challenge of the wilderness as a therapeutic teaching tool, not as a punishment.
What began as one therapeutic wilderness program for "struggling teens" in 2005 has evolved and grown into four separate and distinct programs, each designed to meet the needs of the teen and their family.
The Programs of The Pinnacle Schools:
- Elk River Wilderness Challenge - Short Term Therapeutic Intervention Program (8 weeks)
- Elk River Academy - Step-up or Tiered Midterm Program - flexible length of stay (8 months)
- Elk River Lifestyle Challenge - Pediatric Weight Management Program (8 weeks)
- The Pinnacle Alternative Day School - Year Round Private Day School, Huntsville, Alabama
