It admits adolescents with various issues, including ADHD predominantly inattentive, using what they call the "Real Life Transition Program", which includes a peer participant judicial system which uses citations, fines, and an appeal process, with an emphasis on the participants solving real life problems. It enrolls young people between 12 and 18 years of age.
  Diamond Ranch Academy was founded in Boise, Idaho, in 1999 by Rob Dias and later moved to southern Utah, where it occupied a 200-acre ranch. Enrollees aged 12 to 17 were housed in age- and gender-specific groups on four separate areas of the ranch. Students who had reached the age of 18 before completing the program were housed in a fifth area. In 2012, a new campus was opened at a site about 5 miles from Hurricane.
  The academy's motto is "Healing Families, One Youth at a Time." Its education programs are accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission, and its courses generally last between ten and twelve months.
