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.

everything, its so terrible here, very stinky, I've been here two years and the amount of women…read morethat get dress coded for nothing is ridiculous, I have seen dudes with their whole badonkadonk and tiddies out. The amount of inappropriate comments coming from teachers with no reprocussions is wittewy cwazy. And most of the hope squad does jack diddly squat about our suicide rate, they "save lives" when in reality it makes me want to swing from a ceiling more. The food is overall bad and they don't care to get a grant for free lunches, 3 dollars for a sub par lunch is quite literally theft. The hope squad knows nothing about self harm and supporting people who are suffering, they are like little goons for the counselors that are also terrible at preventing suicide, one of the counselors just stares at you and tells you about the things he's making for his wife while you sit there. Yes some older members of hope squad are supa alpha and a hopie I would like to shout out is Addi and she is so sigma, she actually cares about helping people and not just getting the free trips to sodalicious or wherever they go. Also keeping parents in the dark about a drug planting in a kids car and calling it a school shooting, they put the kids in an extreme state of anxiety because they wanted to save face?? and they told the staff to not tell the kids that there wasn t a school shooting to try and calm the situation. Also keeping everyone in the dark because they would rather have an out of pocket shooter drill where they said "k9s are out because that's a part of the drill" when no school uses k9s for shooter drills than fess up and say that the school has a drug problem. anyway this school has a terrible drug problem save the 250 dollars and dont enroll here.

Like damn y'all need to pull yo shit together GAH DAYUM anyways stream chromatica for clear skin xoxo EDIT: in all seriousness, dress code should change a little bit. its kind of a good school, I've only been to bad ones so like this is a good change of pace, though I wouldn't say its the best. we have some good programs and such, and the majority of the staff that I know of is hella chill like I would totally be ur friend if I was your age. I still find it so funny that it gets to the point where bad reviews of this place go missing or deleted so the students have to take over. (I would assume it's the students) friendly reminder to stream chromatica for clear skin and maybe a better school.
