“Teen Challenge is one of the oldest and most effective programs of its kind in America, not only helping people deal with life-controlling issues, but also giving them something to live for, a relationship with God, and a healthy self-esteem and direction in their lives. I’m impressed with Teen Challenge, their work, and their people.”

“I have worked with Teen Challenge here in Oklahoma on several occasions and have become familiar with the wonderful work they do. As an Oklahoman, I feel it is critical that we build on the lessons and heritage from past generations as we try to teach and inspire future generations. Teen Challenge is a great example of taking young people at the point of their need and helping them to find their purpose and calling for their lives.”

Should you need help finding boys boarding schools, or free military schools, we can help guide you toward strong options for your teen girl. New Lifehouse Academy is a Christ-centered boarding school for struggling teenage girls, designed to address behavioral challenges, low motivation, and academic setbacks through faith-based mentoring, biblical discipleship, and structured academics. This residential program provides a disciplined and supportive environment where girls can reset direction, build responsibility, and develop lasting character. Often compared to therapeutic boarding schools and other residential programs for troubled teens, New Lifehouse Academy emphasizes personal mentoring, accountability, and consistent daily structure rather than clinical models, helping students improve behavior, strengthen decision-making, and regain confidence. Daily mentoring, academic focus, and life skills development work together to build self-control, respect, and purpose. For families seeking a structured boarding school for troubled girls focused on character development, accountability, and real-world growth, New Lifehouse Academy offers a clear and proven path to lasting change.

DISCLAIMER: We are a nonprofit, affordable residential program designed for teens facing basic behavioral, motivational, or academic challenges. For more than 60 years, the Teen Challenge approach has helped thousands of young people achieve meaningful change and lasting progress. Our team includes mentors and certified teachers that change the lives of our students; however, the program is not licensed to provide clinical treatment for youth with mental health disorders and does not enroll students requiring that level of care. For diagnosis or treatment of such conditions, please consult a qualified licensed mental health facility.
