Parent Testimonials

"The positive culture is the thing that separates Tipton from other program schools. The thrust becomes not to change your child, but to show him how to use his skills in positive ways. Your "bad Kid" becomes the Kid with the misdirected talents. It's liberating both for the parent and the child. He's no longer ashamed of who he is. It's so nice when you've got a kid who has been in trouble to hear people saying positive things about his personality. The staff at Tipton doesn't see "bad kids." They make it possible for your child to restore the self esteem he needs, to do the right things and THRIVE!" - Glenda Bradley
