Ranch Hope Strang School

Ranch Hope Strang School helps boys ages 12 to 17 who are dealing with trauma, behavioral challenges, mental health concerns like bipolar symptoms, and neurodevelopmental differences. Students receive individualized education and treatment while living on campus or attending as day students. The school also supports academic success and life skills development.
The school uses trauma-informed care, positive reinforcement, and the Nurtured Heart Approach, which builds self-worth by focusing on students’ strengths and positive actions. Therapies include individual counseling, family sessions, and classroom-based behavioral support. Certified teachers work with students who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to help them reach academic and personal goals through structured, evidence-based learning.
Students live in modern, home-like residences with shared bedrooms, full kitchens, and clean bathrooms. They eat well-balanced meals and enjoy access to school, chapel, sports, and recreation facilities. Outdoor learning takes place on 130 acres of woods and lakes, offering hands-on experiences that keep students engaged. Ranch Hope welcomes family involvement and supports transportation and reunification planning when distance is a concern.
