A place to grow

Growth is a measurable process that requires healthy conditions and ample time. The Evangelhouse® Christian Academy Lifeleaf^TM  treatment model creates the right conditions, the right amount of time, and a guage to measure spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social, and physical growth.

There are five stages of change in the LifeleafTM approach. Each stage of therapeutic development has its own set of tasks, privileges, and time requirements. Stages serve as a way to measure progress. As students work their way through each stage, parents gain clarity for setting goals, acknowledge positive accomplishments, and highlight what actions need to be taken next.

Parents have a great deal of input into goal setting, treatment planning, and stage promotions. Parents maintain contact with their daughter through frequent phone calls, mail, and in-person visits. The typical student takes twelve months to realize all five therapeutic stages, but it can take up to eighteen months. In that time, parents have the benefit of seeing God work in their daughter's life in a measurable way that impacts the entire family.

Progress updates
Within each of the adolescent stages of development, students have specific and frequent feedback to guide their progress and behavior. Each week, staff members present a written report to students, peers, and parents. Students are given weekly privilege zones based on this report, which allows for insightful reflection on their choices and self-corrective measures to be taken within each stage.
