Troubled Youth! 
Silverado Boys Ranch is a unique therapeutic boarding school for boys ages 13 through 17. The ranch is specifically designed to integrate real world skills and enhance self-esteem through a combination of experiential therapy, stellar academics, and healthy relationships.
The foundation of our program is built upon three core principles: work, love, and play. These core principles are integrated into every aspect of our program. Staff are encouraged to maintain their own healthy life balance in these three areas; doing so they become strong role models for the boys and for the families we serve.
We emphasize a positive peer environment to assist boys in developing supportive social interactions through teamwork and shared responsibility. The program allows boys to look inward hidden strengths and self-confidence.

In addition, the workshops and groups provide a positive peer culture for families, a supportive network, and the realization that you are not alone in the challenges with your child.

Boys Ranch.
At Silverado, we have chosen to begin our school day in the afternoon, and hold school from 1:00- 8:30 pm. Our mornings are filled with daily chores, experiential therapy, and traditional group and individual therapy sessions. This schedule allows our students to “get the wiggles out” and be more focused, calm, and ready to apply themselves to their studies in the afternoon.
