INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS
REGARDING THE AGAPE YOUTH RANCH
ACADEMY (AYR) PROGRAM
AYR has put into practice a number of policies to ensure the very best care for your teenager, while at the same time ensuring success of the AYR academic program. We want the Parents/Guardians of our teens to be fully informed about the workings of AYR, and we also want to remain in frequent communication with the Parents/Guardians so there can be full understanding about the strategies and the academic program developed specifically for your teenager.
Listed below are a number of policies concerning the bolded topics. Please read each carefully and feel free to discuss any portion of this information with the AYR Staff.
PARENTAL/GUARDIAN COMMITMENT
We at AYR realize that one of the most important factors involved in the success of the teens’ stay at AYR is the Parents/Guardians’ commitment to the AYR academic program and their support and trust in the AYR Staff, as well as AYR’s program, philosophy and guidelines. It is our hope that Parents/Guardians will support our Staff members, as they are investing their lives and devoting their efforts to making positive academic changes in the lives of the teens, who are entrusted to the Staff of AYR.
It is of great importance that the teens see there is unity between AYR Staff and their Parents/Guardians. Teens will often try to manipulate Staff and/or their Parents/Guardians and exploit the differences and weaknesses they can find.
Parents/Guardians sometimes can hinder their teen’s progress in the AYR program, often without realizing the problems their words or actions can cause. If Parents/Guardians are not committed to working with the AYR Staff and supporting their decisions, they often end up undermining what the Staff is able to do with the teen.
Parents/Guardians must remember that there will be difficult times for their teen, times when the teen will complain about things that are happening to them at the Ranch, such as consequences for their actions or that they feel they are being treated unfairly. The teen must be allowed to go through these struggles without being rescued by their Parents/Guardians if they are to change and grow.
The AYR Staff is committed to looking out for the best interest of your teen and working in a trusting relationship with the Parents/Guardians to reach the goals for the teen, so that the teen’s participation in the program can be successful.
