Continuing Education & Accredited Academics

Ozarks Boys Academy has partnered with Acellus to provide a top-notch, fully accredited educational experience.

Our academy allows students to graduate with a diploma from an accredited online school. Each student has access to self-paced courses, engaging video lessons, and personalized instruction. The academy offers two different graduation pathways: standard and honors.

To meet graduation requirements, students can select from an expansive list of courses. In addition to core subjects, like math, language arts, and science, students can select electives that they find interesting, which allows them to experiment with subjects tailored to specific career fields.

Educational field trips to places such as Wilsons Creek Battlefield, the Titanic museum, Table Rock Lake Dam, Army Corps of Engineers and Conservation Fish Hatchery, also serve as a vital part of your son’s education with us.

Through our secure & monitored internet server, your teen will be able to continue his education with his own personal computer and workspace without any concern of “extracurricular” internet browsing.

Acellus Academy is Fully Accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges – a regional accreditation agency. Students will have no trouble transferring credits in or out of our academic setting. Students can pick up right where they left off when transferring in and start right back up after completing the Ozarks Teen Challenge program.

Acellus Academy core courses meet the academic standards required for student-athletes who wish to compete in NCAA Division I or Division II sports. Our academic administrator at Ozarks Teen Challenge is prepared to work with each student to ensure their academic plan meets their long-term goals.

Acellus Academy Advanced Placement (AP) courses have been audited and approved by the College Board. If your teen graduates from high school before program completion, there is the option of keeping them engaged in continued learning and receiving college credits if they choose to pursue further education after leaving Ozarks Teen Challenge.

Missions & service trips are additional opportunities that we make available to our students. Neither of these opportunities are requirements for graduation from Ozarks Teen Challenge, but they are highly beneficial to the teens who have the opportunity and desire to participate in them. We recommend that our families consider their teen’s participation as an added opportunity for growth.

One to two times a year, we provide small groups of students opportunities to go on missions trips.  We have gone to places overseas, such as Haiti, to support international Teen Challenge centers.  As well as, locations here in the United States: West Virginia, California, & New York to name a few.
Our missions trips provide our teens the opportunity to move from the selfishness that addiction breeds, to service and selfless acts of kindness towards others. By allowing our students to serve others through working on special projects and sharing their personal testimonies, they are emboldened in their personal confidence and in their faith.
