About Indian Oaks Academy

Indian Oaks Academy in Manteno, IL, offers hard-to-place boys and girls a safe environment to address their harmful sexual behaviors, behavioral and emotional problems. Programming is built around a rich treatment culture that uses symbolism to connect with troubled children and adolescents and encourages lifelong learning. Progress is tracked through stages and may continue after treatment in a follow-up care program. We integrate values, beliefs, norms, and ideals in all our programs, and we offer nondenominational services, chaplain visits, and religious service celebrations as requested by parents or residents. Indian Oaks Academy is located in a peaceful, rural setting about 50 miles south of Chicago, where students live, eat, exercise, and go to school. They build relationships with counselors, teachers, and other students, and they attend individual, group, and family therapy to face their unique challenges.
