What Parents Are Saying About Us

OUR PURPOSE

Providing opportunities for young men with learning differences that foster academic, social, emotional, and personal development.

We accomplish that through:

Black Mountain Academy is a small boarding school for boys grades 9-12 that feels like home and is specifically designed to support the individualized needs of students with learning differences and social and executive function deficits. We teach our students transferable skills in the areas of emotional regulation, executive function, and daily living with a dynamic, comprehensive approach that enriches the learning experience.

Black Mountain Academy is a specialized boarding school supporting adolescent males ages 14-19 with level 1 autism or who struggle with social relationships, anxiety, and traditional academic approaches.

We believe our young men (grades 9-12) are capable of living productive and fulfilling futures if vital life skills can be mastered. 

"It is a profound privilege to work with an exceptional team of people, so many wonderful families, and incredible and capable students at Black Mountain Academy. We love providing educational opportunities as well as a high level of therapeutic support that enhances the growth and expands the horizons for all of our students."
