Read the nation’s first large-scale study which measured the effectiveness of Aspen's private residential programs for teens and their families. >>>

Demand for a specific program designed to address the challenges of adoptive children and families lead Mount Bachelor Academy to partner with Kinship Center of California, one of the world’s leading adoptive services organizations. Mount Bachelor offers the nation's premiere curriculum and residential support for adolescents coming to terms with adoption and loss. We offer adoption focused group therapy, thematic workshops for processing stages of grief, and access to a nationwide network of adoption support through Kinship Center.

Because our Adoption Curriculum is overseen by an adopted staff member and 25-30% of the student body is adopted, the program has a personal reference for the trials adoptive teens and their families undergo. We understand the issues and emotions adopted teens are experiencing. In addition, our staff has achieved full certification in the Kinship Center’s Adoption Clinical Training, a theoretical lens for understanding adoption, and we provide individualized mentoring, family seminars, and conferences for parents and children to learn about and work through adoption and grief related issues.

Adopted students at Mount Bachelor Academy participate in a series of four workshops focused on the Core Issues of Adoption. Parents participate in two workshops as part of their parent conferences.
