Willow Creek School To Close

Willow Creek School and its partners regret to announce that the Willow Creek School will no longer be doing business. By the end of September, families and students will be transitioned to alternative placements. Although quality clinical and academic services were still being offered to our families, the trying economy (in combination with other factors), has impacted the school and created circumstances that prevent it from continuing to remain open. This difficult decision was arrived at on the afternoon of September 10th, and was made only after all other options had been exhausted.

We are working fervently with parents and referral sources to find the best next step for their students. At present, we have a couple different options outlined, one of which will be to place students back out at Second Nature at a significantly discounted rate. Our therapists will be assisting families and their Educational Consultants to determine which students would benefit from this option.

Additionally, our academic department will be working closely with families to ensure students are able to get partial/combined credit that they have earned. Our hope is that students will be transitioning into other accredited schools and can pick up where they left off academically in those placements. We will be offering options through BYU Independent study for our students who are nearing high school graduation, and our academic counselor will have revised graduation plans outlined for these students next week.

We are truly sorry for any stress and disruption this process may cause the clients and families of Willow Creek. We as owners, along with our dedicated staff, will do all we can to create as supportive a transition as possible. Please feel free to contact any one of us with questions or concerns about this situation.

Sincerely,
