Telos Academy
A more normalized residential program for adolescent boys needing more than traditional support
Telos Academy serves boys ages 14–17 struggling with depression, anxiety, learning differences, and emotional challenges through integrated academics, clinical support, and consistent mentorship.
When Traditional Support Isn’t Working
Some students need more than tutoring, outpatient therapy, or a different school environment. When emotional struggles begin to affect academics, relationships, and daily functioning, support often needs to be more consistent and integrated.
Telos Academy is designed for boys who need structure and individualized support across more than one area of life.
How Telos Academy Is Different
Telos Academy is an uncommon combination of deep relationships, clinical sophistication, individualized care, and measurable outcomes.
While many programs focus primarily on behavior management, Telos believes lasting change happens through meaningful human connection. Students are known personally, mentored intentionally, and challenged within a culture that balances accountability with genuine compassion.
For more than two decades, Telos has also distinguished itself through its commitment to evidence-based practices and long-term outcomes research, continually measuring whether treatment is producing meaningful and lasting results for students and families.
A Program Built Around Skills
A Powerful Clinical Approach
At Telos Academy, clinical work is not separate from daily life. Therapy, academics, and residential support work together in one coordinated environment.
Individualized Attention
Telos is intentionally structured to provide a high level of individualized attention. Students are organized into small teams of 10, each supported by three dedicated mentors, in addition to teachers, therapists, medical professionals, and other support staff. This small-team model, combined with a true 1:4 staff-to-student ratio, ensures that no student “flies under the radar.”
A Day at Telos
Structure, support, and real moments of growth — every day.
One of the most common questions families ask us is: “What will my son’s day actually look like?” At Telos Academy, every day is intentionally structured to balance clinical work, academics, relationships, and healthy activity — because healing happens in the in-between moments, not just in the therapy room.
