Clearview Horizon (Montana)

Clearview Horizon serves girls, ages 13-21, whose futures are threatened by inappropriate behaviors or influences. Since its founding in 1996, more than 500 families have trusted a girl to the care of this Christian therapeutic boarding school located in beautiful Montana.

Clearview Horizon aims to build a healthy self-image while teaching discipline and respect for self and others. The therapeutic boarding school environment is highly structured, and the responsibilities assigned to each girl are given a great deal of importance. Clearview is a Christian boarding school that cares for students of all faiths. Girls attend church, participate in Bible studies and say grace before meals.

The therapeutic program at Clearview Horizon includes individual, group and family counseling. Our staff Chemical Dependency Counselor serves as an additional resource to those overcoming the unique challenges of drug and alcohol addictions. Our therapy works to discover the contributing factors behind a student’s destructive choices and then teach positive tools to help her remain healthy the rest of her life.

Clearview Horizon offers an excellent academic program, which is fully accredited through the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC). On-site teachers and tutors ensure that all students make progress toward their academic goals. For students over the age of 18, we also provide vocational training. Our vocational programs include Pet Grooming School, Beauty School, Job Shadowing, and attendance at North Idaho Community College.

Clearview students live together in our Lodge in the gorgeous Montana mountains. They complete daily chores, attend school and extracurricular activities, and meet regularly with therapists and mentors. Surrounded by such a safe and nurturing environment, girls face their fears and develop the strength to overcome their individual challenges.

Clearview provides innovative therapy techniques including individual, group and family therapy. We also have a Chemical Dependency Counselor on staff to provide extra support in dealing with the unique issues associated with drug addictions. The goal is to uncover the psychological factors contributing to the student’s unhealthy behavioral choices. The student will then learn therapeutic tools that will assist her the rest of her life to be a healthy woman.

“My advice for parents is to push past the uncomfortable and the fear of leaving your daughter here. It’s not easy and it’s worth it. This place isn’t terrible. It’s not forceful or fear-based. The tools I learned here will help me for the rest of my life and it is worth it. I’m not afraid of things anymore. I am confident in myself and in my family’s work here. Clearview has helped me build a foundation for my family. Looking back on my time at Clearview, the biggest change in myself that I have seen is that I’ve found joy and I’m more positive about life and my future. I feel like I can be mad, sad, or afraid and it’s like a secondary emotion temporarily covering up joy. I feel like I can always fall back on that. I have a much more positive outlook on life. I believe in myself and in a future. I have a lot of self-love and acceptance. I’m also proud of myself. I know what I am capable of and I’m happy with the work I’ve done. I also love my parents.” – Kira K
