I attended heritage from 2013-2014. I went not knowing that it was a residential and when I got…read morethere, I was welcomed immediately into open arms and a campus full of people that strive for what is best for the client. Over my stay I learned healthy ways to cope and live my life without needing a outside source to provide it for me. Heritage is an outstanding school for all sorts of kids but particularly those on the spectrum and those who suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I would strongly urge any parents who's kids are struggling to contact Heritage, it is the best place by far to attend and it really shows how much they care when they do extra stuff to make clients feel more "normal". Heritage hosts banquets periodically, and they have a prom set up as well as other dances and other fun activities. The therapy program at Heritage was key in my success and the added benefit of family therapy really sealed the deal for me! Anyway I hope this review helped you!

About seven years ago, I made a visit just to see how the place is changed…read more The "warehouse" is no longer a part of the school, thank god. They've made a few improvements, but I think they're better options available. And I don't mean, sending your kid away to another state for some "tough love" or wilderness camp or some other crap like that If you are religious, I recommend getting rid of your "religious counselor" and going for somebody who is a member of the secular therapy project. Do not go here if your religious counselor recommends it. Seek other options feel free to message me if you need

To whom it may concern,…read more My name is Randall. Iam a graduate of Provo Canyon School of about 15 years. I spent 18 long months at Provo Canyon School and it was THE best thing that could have ever happened to me. From the age of 13 I ran away from home, was arrested several times and did things I hate to even think about. Deep down I just needed help. Provo Canyon School changed my life.Provo Canyon School Saved my life and Provo Canyon School saved my family. Simply put, regardless of what mental or physical struggles i was facing while at PCS I was expected to meet the schools high expectations. Hard day at school, so what. There are rules to follow as an individual and as a team/room/unit. Homesick, yep that sucked and on top of it I still had to be obedient individually and as a team. If your kid decides to make life choices like run away from home, do drugs, and break the law. Then your child is capable of graduating from Provo Canyon School like I did. In fact, when they are crying and complaining on phone calls that," hey this place sucks, they arent treating me well." Yada yada yada, then its time for you parents to pull up your big boy pants and say, "well son I wish you wouldnt have made the very choices you did to make it into Provo Canyon School. I hope you obey the rules and learn to be a team player fast so you can graduate and come home to us. Talk to you next week kiddo. Love ya! " The worst thing you can do as a parent is rip your kid out of this program prematurely. Remember, your kids big boy pants got him in here. Not you! So let him in there as long as PCS will keep him. As hard as the program was, I still call it home for 18 months of my life. Iam sooooo thankfully my parents had it in them to let me be there as long as it took. I am thankful for the roomates that I came to trust and care for while i was there. Iam thankful for the teachers and therapists and unit leaders. I have been back to visit several times over the past 15 years and while I was in the program I got to see graduates return to the school on occasion also. May God bless everyone that works for this program. It works. It saved my life and one day I will donate money to it.

My name is Ricky Schmidt. I went to Provo Canyon School- Boys Campus in November 2025 I was there…read morefor four months, and every second there was horrid I started my treatment by getting there early on Thursday November 20th and was barley given any time to say goodbye to my family before the took me through a series of magnetically locked doors, they wouldn't even give me time to hug my mom or my aunt they took me to a room where I met with a nurse practitioner who spoke extremely broken English to the point where I could barely understand a word she was saying so I doubt she got everything on my file correct. From there I got sent to what is called Stabilization which is the dorm you get sent to when you first get to the school however it is also the dorm that all the kids who are in trouble get sent, I was sat in the hallway on the floor (yep, they wouldn't even let me sit on the stools in that hallway because I wasn't "checked in yet" ) for thirty to forty-five minutes before my therapist came to meet with me for the first time. Now before I continue I will say that there were a few good things about the program one of which was my therapist Lui who was by far the only therapist on the boys campus who did anything at all to help the kids there and actually gave a damn about his patients. Anyway after I got the orientation questionnaires filled out with my therapist we headed back to the dorm, but I ran into my mom and aunt in the hall because they were getting a tour and I finally got to give them a hug, after that we did head back to stabilization where I had to sit on that floor for at least another hour and a half before the nurse and a staff came and took me into a bathroom and made me take off all my clothes behind a screen but the nurse wan looking over the top of the screen at me the whole time then they handed me a pair of bob Barker clothes that smelled like they've never been washed before and sent me to the rest of the group. Once I got into the main room I was greeted by the smell of piss and feces which hit me like a brick wall they made me sit at a desk that had caked on food and other gunk all over it then the manager of the stabilization dorm called me over to his desk which of course was spotless and made me go through yet another questionnaire then he gave me a handbook (which I found out later was outdated by at least ten years) a notebook, a cheap deck of cards and a black crayon because they don't let the stable kids have pencils. I wont get into all the details of everything but I will say that the staff there are very verbally abusive to the kids they are trained how to properly do restraints but the choose to do things their own way which usually results in people getting injured, while I was there a staff actually punched a kid in the face and the facility said that they would hire that staff again once the kid discharged. Fast forward to right before I left, me and a couple of other boys got into to trouble and I ended up being the only one who told the truth and the other boys weren't too happy about that so the decided to jump me which somehow resulted in me getting sent to stabilization where I just got jumped by more kids and the beatings didn't stop until they sent me home before I was ready because they "couldn't keep me safe". This place is absolute hell it is no place for a child if you love your kids please please do not send them to this place it will only make them so much worse and you risk never seeing your kids the same again.

The Maeser Way or the Highway: When Rigid Policy Undermines Linguistic Preparation…read moreI am writing this review so families coming from Alpine School District dual-language immersion (DLI) programs, particularly those at neighboring DLI elementary, junior high, and high schools, understand an important reality before accepting enrollment at Maeser. My student was offered admission to Maeser after completing several years in an Alpine School District DLI program. That experience represents sustained academic instruction in a living, globally spoken language. Before accepting the offer, I contacted the LEA Administrator at Maeser to ask a straightforward question: since flexibility for DLI students reportedly existed at Maeser in the past, why does it no longer exist? Historically, DLI students attending Maeser were permitted to leave campus to attend immersion classes at nearby junior high and high schools. I was told there is now "no flexibility." Latin is mandatory for all seventh graders, with no exceptions. When I followed up to ask what prompted this policy change, that question went unanswered. In practice, this policy requires students who have invested years in mastering a Romance language to abandon that academic trajectory entirely. There is no alternative pathway, no transition option, and no acknowledgment that these students bring precisely the kind of linguistic foundation the school claims to value. Maeser promotes Latin as foundational for grammar, logic, and etymology, yet students already fluent in a Romance language derived from Latin are told that background cannot be accommodated in any way. I was further advised that my student's DLI language could simply be "continued at home." Language immersion does not function that way. Fluency developed through daily structured instruction, academic accountability, and peer interaction cannot be maintained through casual practice, particularly in households where the language is not spoken. Replacing a formal immersion program with informal at-home exposure is not academically equivalent. Schools are free to design their curriculum. However, when a rigid policy effectively excludes a defined group of academically prepared students from continuing their established educational pathway without a transparent explanation for the change, families deserve to know. This experience revealed a disconnect between Maeser's stated commitment to academic rigor and its unwillingness to engage with students who bring significant prior preparation. A truly rigorous academic model should be capable of examining reasonable pathways for well-prepared students rather than closing the door entirely. Charter schools operate with significant autonomy. That autonomy can foster innovation, but it can also leave families with little recourse when inflexible policies narrow access. In this case, the message was clear: the "Maeser way" is nonnegotiable, regardless of a student's preparation or prior academic investment. Families deserve to understand that reality before enrolling. As for our family, we will choose another school, one that demonstrates openness and a genuine understanding of the value of a comprehensive education. Our student will continue in the DLI program through college, which represents a significant academic accomplishment. Expecting students to abandon years of linguistic study without compelling academic justification does not reflect educational flexibility or intellectual depth. Families considering Maeser should be fully informed of these limitations before making their decision.

This is an excellent school! Inspiring teachers, strong community, and top-notch academics!read more
