We are the Best Christian Boarding School Choice for Your Young Teen!

Whether your young teen needs help catching up in school or finding purpose and passion for life and the future, we hope you will consider the benefits of our nurturing and supportive Christian boarding school. First of all, we offer young boys and teens the best in-class, and online academic accreditation, plus vital personal life skills training and valuable vocational opportunities.


Plus, your young boy will enter a dynamic community of learning and personal growth in every area of life, from the mental and emotional process, to the physical and spiritual aspect of personal transformation. That’s because students from all around the country, contribute to each another’s understanding and growth, as they live, study, work and play together in our safe, secure environment. And no matter what challenges each day brings, our supportive teachers and staff find ways to help your boy work and grow through it all. 


We strive to create a positive, nurturing space where student life provides opportunities to see themselves, others and the world in a completely new light—through the eyes of a loving God. Just as Christ calls us to obey Him, love one another, and live in harmony with others, young boys receive remarkable guidance toward living, learning, serving others and loving God while attending our Christian boarding school.


Because so many young teens live through negative social and academic experiences facing exclusion or rejection at school, or in the community, we help struggling teens focus on positive life goals. Students in our Christian boarding school will also attain a basic set of skills that help ensure success along the way through challenging academic studies. Our special approach to learning matches each teen’s academic plan with individual academic goals and abilities.


Just as you would hope to find the best boarding school experience for your student, the specific curriculum we offer helps young teens discover and develop one’s unique, personal passions and gifts. We also help them focus on making wise choices, learning to communicate effectively, and gaining real life skills that will enable them to function independently as a self-reliant adult. 


Our structured and supportive setting also opens the way for young boys to experience a positive personal acceptance of who they are now and receive encouragement for who they can be. Whether this happens in a moment of communal worship, quiet introspection, or joyful interaction with the beauty of creation, teens can truly realize God’s purpose and plans for their personal future and success. 


The benefits of enrolling your young teen boy in one of the best Christian boarding schools available also includes living 24/7 in a community that inspires serving others, loving God and growing in the character of Christ.


Yes, enrolling your teen in a Christian boarding school involves more than simply choosing the closest or most affordable options. We understand how difficult it may be to make the best choice for your son. That’s why we encourage you to contact us today and see if your teen would be a good fit here. Call now or let us know the best time to speak with you about your teen’s potential enrollment. We’re here to help you, and thankful for your desire to see your young teen grow into the person God wants them to be.

I would HIGHLY recommend Whetstone to anyone who has a son who’s struggling. We sent a 15-year-old boy to the ranch and he came back a confident young man! The staff is wonderful – so full of grace & love for these boys. It was worth every penny we spent and I am so thankful for them!!

Michelle

I’ll keep this short and sweet. My son went to Whetstone because he was out of control at home. Details aren’t necessary, but suffice it is to say the home life situation was untenable. Through the love, patience, and wisdom of the Whetstone staff, my son was basically transformed over nine months. All the exact factors that drove that change can’t be reduced to a formula, but his time there being surrounded by godly men had an absolutely profound impact on him. I cannot endorse this program more highly.

Michael

A great and life-changing experience. I miss the place.

Former Resident

I highly recommend Whetstone Boys Ranch. The staff is individuals of high character, very loving and very good at what they do. The ranch provided a positive and supportive environment for my son to heal and grow.

Ken

Overall we had a positive experience. There were many difficult days but in the end, it was what our family and son needed – a break, an opportunity to change a negative pattern. Our son is thriving now and I’m not sure we would be where we are without Whetstone’s help. I can see how it might not be the right setting for everyone but it was for us. Our son was known, held accountable, challenged, and rewarded.

Carrie

Whetstone was definitely the right place at the right time for our son. It may not be right for everyone but it was the perfect fit for our family. It wasn’t easy but Whetstone made a huge positive difference in our son’s personal growth. The men and women who work at Whetstone are amazing individuals who guide the boys to the very best of their ability.

Dale

As the mother of a young man who graduated the program (and returned two years later as an intern), I cannot sing the praises of Whetstone enough. Thank you for transforming lives and infusing hope.

Elise

I am so proud of these young men who have dedicated their lives to helping boys become men. God bless you Axle and Jeremy as you serve Him.

Carol

Whetstone Boys Ranch offers an exceptional, caring, and expertly executed program to help young men who struggle with ADHD, family, or other issues. The staff members and counselors are absolutely top-notch and put the needs of each resident first as if they were their own children. They are all in and do everything they can to help each boy and their parents. Their program is the real deal. You will not find another boarding school with a finer team or program.
