316. Mount Bachelor Academy
Mount Bachelor Academy was the flag-ship of the soon extinct Aspen Education Group. Based on the CEDU model it was founded in 1987. The therapy system was kind of psychodrama invented by the religious Synanon community.
Modern therapy regards this type of therapy as outdated and potential emotional damaging. At Mount Bachelor Academy they stuck to this old model and as result the authorities closed the school in 2009. Various lawsuits were settled out of court as late as in 2014.
In 1998 a boy died at the facility.
It didn’t sound like a fun place to be as a teenager.
