SOA offers a number of therapeutic services for the individual, family, and group, including:
School-aged youth will attend either Silver Oak Academy’s on-site Type III school or Carroll County’s Public High School, located in Keymar, MD. Silver Oak Academy and/or the local high school will provide transportation to and from school. Rite of Passage intends to pursue licensure for an on-site Type I school, appropriate for the population.
It is SOA’s intention to provide career and technical education classes through the on-site at the Workforce Development Center where students can, depending on availability, participate in vocations, which may include Barbering, Computer/Information Technology, Culinary Arts, Building Trades, and Business Management. This program will be developed as part of the campus build-out and school licensure process.
SOA provides youth with recreational opportunities to promote health and wellness both physically and mentally allowing youth to frequently reflect on their mind, heart, and body in a way that develops self-awareness, self-management, social skills, empathy, and healthy decision-making. Recreation and leisure activities are integrated within the daily schedule and include nutritional education, sports, weightlifting, hiking, yoga, nature walks, guided meditation, team building exercises, collaborative games, and social experiences. The campus includes a football field and track, full court gymnasium, library, weight room and student lounge.
