When we ran out of options to keep my daughter safe at home, we enrolled her in Cedar Ridge. She spent 10 months there receiving mental health therapy for emotional and behavioral issues. Many local therapy programs we looked at would not allow her to continue school. In addition to school, she had PE/sports, cared for animals, and tended a garden. As a parent, I was deeply impressed with the dedication of the staff, the quality of the facility, and the level of communication about my daughter. I feel the 10 months my daughter was there not only kept her safe while she worked through her issues, but also taught her personal skills that have been life changing for her. It has been almost a year now since she came home and while it hasn't been exactly smooth sailing, she has been able to move on with her life in a productive way and we have confidence in a solid future for her. read more

THE WORST PLACE. Traumatic on so many levels. https://truthcedarridgemakana.com/animal-abuse-at-cedar-ridge-roosevelt-utah/ read more

The staff at Cedar Ridge are truly genuine and want to help the kids. They have a large campus with lots of activities and an indoor full size gym where they play volleyball and basketball. Rob is amazing with his karate skills and the way that he instructs. The school staff are always coming up with new ideas in how to teach the kids so that everyone understands and learns. Highly recommend sending your child to Cedar Ridge. read more

While students who have attended the Academy will sometimes feel that they are treated unfairly, this is not the case. CRA strives to give each client the individual attention that they require. When a client is not receptive to the program or having to follow rules in order to make the program work to its best benefit for the child, they become resistant and become a 'victim.' At that point, they take no responsibility for their actions and blame everyone else. It is only as hard as you make it and we have a great number of students who still come back to visit and are thankful for the time and effort CRA put in on their behalf. read more
