With the Abundant Life Academy Substance Abuse Program we provide the most unique Christian boarding school experience available anywhere in the world. We are especially equipped to handle troubled teens that have a sense of "entitlement" coupled with substance abuse. Abundant Life Academy is the environment where we deal with issues of entitlement, with the goal of restoring your troubled teen back to the path of personal success. We instill the principles of appreciation, respect, integrity, truthfulness, and submission to parental authority.

The first step toward enrollment is to go to the application page of our web site. You have a choice to either complete and submit an online version of the application, or download the application in a PDF file, which you will print and then fill out and fax to 435-644-8292. Once our admissions department receives your application one of our Admissions Coordinators will contact you within 24 hours and answer any questions that you may have. In addition, once we receive the application we will send you a list of parent references. At this time we ask that you begin to pray, seeking God's perfect will. You can count that we will also be praying, seeking God's will regarding the enrollment of your child. We will inform you of our enrollment decision soon after receiving and reviewing your submitted application.

At this point, if you are serious about enrolling your teen into Abundant Life Academy, return to the application page on the ALA web site and download the Enrollment Agreement. The ALA Admissions Coordinator, Wendy Riddle, will help you to complete these forms. Next, you will need to FEDX the Enrollment Agreement, Enrollment Fee, and second and last months Tuition Fee, along with the pro-rated first months tuition to 220 W. 300 N., Kanab, Utah 84741.

The next step is to set up the transportation arrangements. Your best bet is to again contact Wendy Riddle as she can coach you through the process of arranging for travel and save you some money. Many of our parents choose to accompany their teen to Abundant Life Academy, where they meet the staff, tour the program, and stay around for a day or two. There are plenty of wonderful accommodations near the Abundant Life Academy campus. If you are not able to accompany your teen there are professional escorts that we can recommend.

The monthly tuition fee of $4,750 covers the cost of providing 24 hour/7 day professional supervision, Christian leadership training, academic instruction, vocational instruction, housing, meals, transportation, tutoring, and recreational activities. Most Christian boarding schools do not cover the cost of transportation, tutoring, or recreational activities in their monthly tuition. Our monthly tuition fee also covers the cost of vocation development, school supplies, and off campus activities. As you already know, dealing with troubled teens demands a tremendous amount of supervision. The majority of the cost to care for your child goes to cover the cost of staff that supervise and ensure the health, safety, and welfare of your child. We consider Abundant Life Academy to be the fresh alternative to the traditional Christian boarding school, serving troubled teens that have a sense of entitlement.

These costs include transportation to and from the airport, bedding and linen, bathroom and hygiene supplies, Walkman's and tape players, Christian CD's, and other miscellaneous incidental costs.

Our curriculum is provided by Abundant Life Academy Online High School. Essentially, the course work your child will complete is fully accredited, accepted in all 50 states. Many of our students receive their high school diploma while enrolled with Abundant Life Academy.

Abundant Life Academy has teamed up with Abundant Life Academy Ministries, a non-profit scholarship program that allows family and friends, and other organizations, to donate money on behalf of the student's family in order to help them over the cost of tuition. The donor receives a tax-deductible receipt for donation, which can be a tremendous value to the donor. In the case of donations made to ALAM on the behalf of a student and his/her family, everyone wins. The donor wins, the family wins, and the student wins.
