To Whom It May Concern,
My son was sent to Whitmore Academy on October 6th of this
year. I checked into the program very extensively as I really
did not want to send him off, but he was headed in the wrong
direction and we knew we had to do what was best for him.
Whitmore Academy has been the smartest move we made for our
son. We had tried many other options, and this is the only
one that has helped. He has changed in such a short time and
is turning into the person we knew him to be. We cannot say
enough good things about this program and the staff. They
have kept us informed every inch of the way and let us talk
to him a few weeks after he got there. He actually thanked
us for sending him. He realized he was going nowhere and feels
this saved him.
We are allowed to talk to him totally by himself (we asked
him about this on the second call), so if there were any problems
he would have told us. We also were impressed that when something
does happen the kids are telling us. There are no secrets.
I have to say this surprised us at first, but only validates
that the school is completely on the up and up. If the school
had something to hide, would that be the case?? There are
always kids that may want to go home and will say anything
to get away as in this case. We truly believe that our son
would be in serious trouble right now if not for Mark, Cheryl
and the rest of the Whitmore staff. If we were concerned the
tiniest bit for our son's safety or well-being, I would pull
him out of there in a heartbeat. But that is not the case
at all. In fact, we would be heartbroken for him not to be
able to continue the growth we have seen in him. We have full
confidence in our decision and support Whitmore Academy and
their staff to the fullest extent.
If you would like to talk to us, we would be happy to do
so at any time.
Thank you,
Tina & Craig Estes
