If this "Academy" is associated with 'Casa by the sea' in Mexico, you should be ASHAMED of yourselves. Your unethical practices are DISGUSTING. I am putting this nicely. If any parents can read this before sending your children to this academy, take a first-hand look at the place. Ask for a personal interview with one of the young persons in treatment. Do NOT rely on solely the website for all of your information. If you do so, you can accurately call yourself a BAD parent or advocate of the child.

Is that place really as bad as I hear? It seems a bit better than the other places but I can't be too sure because it opened recently and there isn't too much out there about it..

as a former student i would say this place sucked bad. I will not say there were kids getting beaten like at the previous owner jade robinsons school casa by the sea, i will also not deny it because i never saw it but it probably wouldnt surprise me if i heard it, all that school did for me was help me be dependent when dealing with emotions everything else i picked up on my own after the academy with life lessons, you can have people preach to your kid all day and make them bleed sweat from all the running we did there but nothing will ever prepare your kids for the decisions they will have to make in life, thats why i believe this school is not necessarily a waist but it only can do so much, and for some people it does worst because had i not already been emotionally strong i could see how easy it would be to crack in a place like that or just lose it.

I understand that many people say that Horizon is a boot camp where kids are tortured and this, that and the other. Well, I graduated from there and its a good school where most staff care. I have NEVER seen or heard of anyone being "physically abused". Yes, there are times when we were yelled at for reasons I deem unnecessary, but kids are cussed at in public school all the time. I think that a lot of people are bitter because they sent kids to a programs and those kids chose not to change. But I can only speak for myself and I'm tired of all this bashing of Horizon
