New Vision Academics
New Vision Wilderness Therapy is accredited through Cognia and offers options for academic credits. While in treatment, most students earn credits in physical education and health. Opportunities for language arts, environmental science, psychology, and independent study credits are also available. Academic programming at New Vision is designed to be woven into the student’s therapeutic immersion experience. Students are not pulled out of group for classroom time, rather lessons are incorporated into daily activities and intermittent independent reflection time.
