Our Easy Enrollment Process

Marianna McCombs, Admissions Coordinator

The following represents our enrollment process for girls age 13-17. Making a decision about enrolling your daughter or family member in a residential treatment program can be difficult and overwhelming, but I am here to help. We have simplified the application and enrollment process as much as possible for you. If LGA isn’t a good fit for your teen, I’ll tell you about other programs that may work better for you and for her. Call Me Today (Se Habla Español) (863)647-1944.

Step 1 – Request Information

The first step is to call us at the number above, or fill in our inquiry form. That will register your interest with our Admissions Department. (Se Habla Español)

Step 2 – The Phone Interview

After we receive your contact information, our Admissions Coordinator will call for a phone interview to learn more about the situation. The information gathered identifies the immediate needs of the student and will allow us to make certain that Lakeland Girls Academy can effectively address those needs.

Step 3 – Apply

Once we determine that your daughter would be a good fit for our program, we will email you an online application that you simply complete and submit to us electronically. Upon receiving your application, we will then review for final approval. If you are approved for enrollment, our Admissions Coordinator will get back in touch to set a date for intake and to send along all necessary paperwork.

Sorry, we do not enroll girls who are:

Medically unstable
Physically violent or with a criminal record for violence
Pregnant
Arsonists

Diagnosed with severe psychotic disorders

Tuition

Funding Options

At LGA, we realize that boarding schools can be expensive, and we do our best to be as affordable as possible. Compared to other therapeutic boarding schools, we are many times more affordable, and we can also help provide some options:

Church or Civic Organization

Sometimes the church or civic organization that a parent belongs to will assist with tuition costs. Discussing your situation with the pastor of your church or president of your group may lead to financial aid.

Prosper Lending

Lakeland Girls has partnered with Prosper as a potential lender. Working with a national network of specialized lenders, their loan consultants will help you find the most suitable financing option while maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality. Please contact them for more information.

Insurance

Because we are a faith-based organization and not a clinical treatment facility, insurance does not cover treatment costs. If you are needing coverage, we would be happy to refer you to another program that may offer assistance.

Participation in Activities

Students have opportunities to participate in activities they may never have chosen at home. New passions are discovered as students become more well-rounded through participation.

Participation in sports improves self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Healthier lifestyle choices become habits that will produce lasting benefits. Many activities encourage teamwork and improve the relational skills necessary for success. Group activities prepare students to consider and respect each other’s needs.

Testimonials

“I really pushed my parents over the edge when I overdosed on pills not once, not twice, but three times with 35 pills. They had enough and did not know where to turn. That’s when they brought me to Lakeland. Two months later, Jesus Christ intervened and said, “Get ready family! I am the Great Physician and I will heal your daughter and bind up her wounds!” God changed me from the inside out that day and has set me free from all the bondage that I was enslaved in.”

We can also help you in your search for residential schools for troubled youth, boarding schools, therapeutic boarding schools or Christian boarding schools. Our Christian boarding school program helps misbehaving girls who are at risk and having behavioral issues such as anxiety, who are oppositional, with reactive attachment disorders or avoidant personality disorder. Military schools for girls are probably not the best option for your troubled teen girl. Many military schools for girls won’t enroll girls who have a history of problems. When dealing with troubled teens, there are many types of residential schools which can help troubled girls. Not all Christian boarding schools work with struggling teenagers, but Lakelnad does. This program specifically helps troubled teenagers -- such progams are typically referred to as therapeutic boarding schools, but Lakeland is not licensed as a therapeutic boarding school, so it is much less costly. The Christian boarding school provides Bible-centered mentoring for at-risk teens, unlike other alternative schools and therapeutic boarding schools schools that do not have a Christian emphasis.
