FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Aspen Education Group?

Aspen Education Group is an organization that is committed to improving the quality of life for youth and their families. Headquartered in Cerritos, California, Aspen's programs have been providing innovative
quality educational and therapeutic services since 1981.

What is the mission of the Aspen Education Group?

Aspen provides educational programs that promote academic and personal growth to youth and their families with the foundation of our success built upon quality, integrity, and dependability.

What types of kids come to Aspen?

Aspen provides educational and therapeutic services primarily to youth, young adults and
their families who are dealing with academic and behavioral issues. Students typically exhibit poor school performance, oppositional and defiant behavior; they may have trouble with authority figures, or they show lack of motivation and low self-esteem. Some of our parents voice concerns about the types of friends their children are choosing, alcohol use; dropping grades, skipping school, depression, and other problematic behaviors. Many of these teens are bright and capable, but they are performing poorly in school and dropping out of extracurricular activities. These kids often have become master manipulators, making it difficult for parents to find ways to change their behavior without some type of outside intervention.

How do I know if my child needs help?

At Aspen Education Group we are committed to helping our parents find the best possible answers for their child. Parents are able to request information through our Aspen website "Contact Us".

On our Aspen web site, parents also have an opportunity to complete a Placement Questionnaire online that will provide parents with feedback about their child's behavior. This questionnaire will also help our Admissions Counselors determine which Aspen program will best meet your child's behavioral and academic needs.
