Compass Rose Academy, a Christian therapeutic boarding school is a subsidiary of White's Residential and Family Services, a private nonprofit child welfare agency in Indiana. This 9-12 month, co-ed program is for teens who struggle with depression, identity and body image issues, who clash with their peers or authority figures, problems in school, abuse recovery and social isolation or rejection.
Originally founded in the 1850's, Whites Residential and Family Services have a long list of accreditations and affiliations including: The Council on Accreditation, the Alliance for Children and Families, CWLA, IARCCA, IHSAA, the Indiana Department of Education, NACCFA and the NFPA. CEO of Compass Rose Academy is A. Dee Gibson, MA, LSW who has served with White's for 35 years, with 15 years as CEO. Brad Wright is the campus Chaplain and has worked for White's since the mid 1990's, Mike Haarer is the Director of Compass Rose and Troy Friedersdorf is the Principal of the on-site Junior and Senior High Schools.
Students participate in Christ centered individual counseling in addition to several group experiences all designed to learn healthy conflict resolution and increase team building skills. Each student lives in a cottage with house parents and up to eleven other students. Meals, chores and cottage activities help the students learn responsibility and working together as a family. Activities include daily exercise, church services on Sunday at the on campus Church, and a multitude of fun experiences on the 800 acres including bike riding and hiking or use of the gym, swimming pool, weight room and ponds and woods.
