An Arizona Boarding & Day School for Troubled Teens

Wick Academy, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Wick Academy is designed to provide your CHILD and FAMILY the opportunity for a new beginning.  We are located in beautiful Arizona. Our affordable Therapeutic Boarding & Day School offers a structured and therapeutic environment to help your struggling teenager excel.

We work with boys and girls, ages 12-18, that have not been successful at home or in their current academic or social environment. Therapeutic services are offered by Ms. Dale Ryder, LCSW, of “Rites of Passage."

Looking for a place that will ensure your child is in the best program for them, is a difficult decision.

I have been working with underachieving adolescents for over 27 years. I continue to always be amazed at seeing the transformation from an angry and oppositional teenager to one that becomes responsible and productive.  It takes a special kind of patience and persistence to turn them around and get them focused on new goals and ambitions. There is nothing more gratifying than to experience the success in working with families and their loved ones. I encourage those of you to allow me and the staff the opportunity to meet with you and your child. I am confident you will know you have come to the right place.

I wish you success in your search. Remember never give up!!

Jay Wick
Director/Founder
