Our Students
Our students are 18 to 24 year old men and women looking for new direction.
The single trait they all share is that their lives have stalled and they are unsure of how to move forward. Many know the right answers but lack the maturity and skills to take the next step.
• They are doubtful of their abilities and talents and are often stuck in self sabotaging patterns of isolation.
• They are fearful.
• They are hungry for safety and success.
• They are confused.
• They are challenging.
• They show evidence of the ability to practice the skills and behaviors that lead them to independence and a clearer identity.
• They are ready and willing to grow up.
• They have made a decision to make a change in their lives.
At the completion of Echo Springs, students move on in their own direction. That may be college, technical school or a career. The list of colleges and successes for our students is long and impressive. The most impressive part is that they are the students’ choice – a goal set and gained.
