Mojave Academy Incorporated
Provide a safe place for children to get their education so that they are not hounded by the daily problems in life that can pull them down. Instead they are able to learn the skills to cope with an ever changing society and be successful & productive where they might have turned to drugs or crime.
Our Academy delivers several unique programs: Life Basics, Educational Repair, Study Skills, and Full
Academics.
Throughout the program, individualized instruction, practical application and physical activities are emphasized. The program is designed to deliver a comprehensive educational program preparing the child for life. Competent, well-educated, physically able - this is an education the child will take with him and use for his entire life.
The Life Basics program consists of a checklist of items (such as "Initiative", "Manners", etc). For each item the student does drills and actual application until he is succeeding better in life on that point.
Through this program the child regains abilities to make the correct decisions in life, reestablishes motivation and purpose in life, improves contribution with the family and groups, gets better at completing what he started, and other points as needed.
