At Spring Ridge Academy we have a focused admissions criteria. The young women that Spring Ridge Academy helps are bright, talented and highly creative individuals who are struggling to manage their lives. Often these are young women involved in a variety of risky and/or addictive behaviors that are sabotaging their relationships and affecting their academic careers. While Spring Ridge Academy students present with a variety of diagnoses we find that often the issues that need to be addressed fall into one of eight categories: Attachment, Adoption Issues, Body Image, Eating Disorders, Conflict, Defiance, Depression, Anxiety, Experimentation with Drugs & Alcohol, Focus, Motivation Issues, Grief & Loss, Self Harm, Social Difficulties, Negative Peer Groups, Trauma
