Program for Youth who are Expelled or in Foster Care

McAdams Academy is a behavioral program that uses a classroom format to deliver treatment. We accept kids who have been expelled, suspended long-term, or in foster care but are not attending school. We provide a safe and structured learning environment for kids who struggle with emotional and behavioral disorders. Post-pandemic data show a sharp increase in mental health issues, homelessness, and criminal activity for our nation's youth. Research indicates that keeping kids in a structured learning environment dramatically reduces their chances of being further impacted by these societal problems. Students receive seven hours of therapy each day while in our program as they continue their education through an accredited curriculum. 

Our Mission Statement

Providing a safe place where vulnerable youth practice academic, emotional, and spiritual skills for thriving lives that affect families and communities.

Expelled Kids Can Graduate with a Kansas High School Diploma

Through a partnership, we offer accredited curriculum and therefore our students earn high school credits for coursework completed while attending McAdams. Our students work under the supervision of liscensed teachers and behavioral specialists.

Specialized to Work with Problem Behavior

Our staff is equipped to work with kids who struggle with behavioral and disciplinary issues.

Low to No Cost for Expelled Students

We work hard to make McAdams Academy as affordable as possible. Tuition is usually free for students while they are expelled from Sedgwick County public schools.
