This school changed my life! Everything I am now is attributed to this school. Before Liahona Academy, I was miserable and hated who I was. Now I am genuinely happy and successful in life. I have regained my family relationships, I'm finishing my first year of college, and I have a wonderful job and vision for my future! Don't waste time looking at more schools. You've already found the right one!

I love this school, it gave me a second opportunity in my life and allowed me to become so much closer to my family and just get my life on the right path. The therapy they do actually works and helps the boys overcome their addictions and negative attitudes. Parker and Rich are truly passionate about what they do, and they do care about the boys. I am now a college student with academic honors at my school, doing an internship, and also tutoring biology on my college campus. All of those accomplishments go to the staff, Parker, and the therapists that helped me get my head on straight. This place didn't just change me for the better, but it saved my life.
