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 (TPS) was founded in the spring of 2005, by a group of caring professionals, committed to effective and affordable high quality services for troubled teens and their families. The programs of TPS are based on the effective assessment and treatment of "at-risk teens".
What began as a single outdoor therapeutic program for "troubled teens" in 2005 has evolved and grown into four separate and distinct programs, each designed to meet the individual needs of the teen and their family.
The Programs of The Pinnacle Schools:
- Elk River Residential Treatment Program - Therapeutic Intervention Program that provides diagnostic, assessment, education and treatment services. (8 weeks)
- Elk River Academy - Individualized Transitional Therapeutic School with a flexible length of stay up to one year.
- Elk River Healthy Lifestyles - Teen Weight Management Program focusing on nutrition and positive behaviors while building self-esteem. (8 weeks)
- Pinnacle Academic Resource Center - A Private Year- Round High School and College Resource Program in Huntsville, Alabama.
