Admission Requirements

Alpine Academy requires a current (not more than one year old) Psychological Evaluation report (including I.Q. scores, personality assessment, and a DSM IV diagnosis). We require a current list of medications from the prescribing physician. If the youth has been classified with special education needs, a current IEP (Individualized Education Plan) must also be submitted.

Please note, Alpine Academy does not accept girls with a primary substance abuse diagnosis, girls who are actively suicidal, girls who are a physical risk to others, or girls with a full scale I.Q. less than 80. The youth's appropriateness for the program is assessed by the administrative team within 48 hours of receipt of complete referral information. Upon referral acceptance, a completed intake packet and initial payment is required prior to admission. Initial payment includes the first month's tuition plus a 10-day deposit. The 10-day deposit is non-refundable; it will be applied to the last month's tuition costs or refunded at the end of treatment.
