River View Christian Academy is not a residential treatment center or therapeutic boarding school. As a private boarding school registered with the Department of Education, we do not directly provide counseling or therapy to our students. For parents or students who desire counseling or other outside services, we make it as convenient as possible for parents to schedule appointments with outside local therapists, counselors, doctors, etc. We will either provide transportation for the student to their appointment or a private space on campus for the appointment to take place.

The average attendance is usually 3 semesters, depending on the overall progress of the student. It is possible for a student to finish early, but this usually does not occur due to the fact that a significant amount of time is needed for the full benefit of the school to take place. The student’s success is not based on how long they attend our school but how long they do well. A strong foundation of positive direction is critical to their ability to maintain their healthy lifestyle upon returning home, which will positively impact their educational experience.

At River View Christian Academy, we are committed to helping families and will do everything we can to work with parents. We offer zero-interest loans lasting through your child’s graduation, as well as payment plans spread out over a longer period of time for qualifying parents. If necessary, River View Christian Academy parents can also work with loan companies. Parents will be provided with a list of companies, and they are required to file all the paperwork themselves. Assistance is available for parents who establish legitimate hardship or demonstrate they are in a difficult financial situation at no fault of their own. All financial applications are reviewed by the River View Christian Academy administration and granted on a case-by-case basis. The decision is at the sole discretion of the administration and based on availability of funds.
