Arrowhead Ranch subscibes to the Positive Peer Group Program, a successful approach in rehabilitating troubled adolescents. The group program aims to enhance the development of each individual so that the individual learns to be responsible. Upon eventual release from the program, it is hoped that a young man will continue to be a productive individual and a contributing member of society. Arrowhead has three basic education classrooms for academic studies. The teachers in these classrooms are certified to teach children with behavior and learning disorders.
Teachers offer individualized instruction to meet the student's specific educational needs.
The Wodstock-Johnson Evaluation is used to test and assess student's academic abilities or learning difficulties. In the summers, a swimming pool is utilized to teach swimming and life saving. The athletic and recreation programs at Arrowhead Ranch are closely integrated into the total program. These programs are intended to teach the boys the values of physical fitness, self-discipline, competition through fair play, and constructive leisure. Arrowhead Ranch is actively involved as a member of the Illinois Interagency Athletic Association.
