Therapeutic Tuition at The International Centre for Youth Wellness (ICY WELL) Lakeside Campus
What is a therapeutic tuition center? We are a type of alternative education support system that specializes in educating and helping troubled teenagers and young adults. These troubles can range from behavioral and emotional challenges to cognitive learning challenges that can't be properly addressed in a traditional school environment. In addition to offering classes, we provide psychological counseling and are individually involved with the students on a very deep level to help rehabilitate them and restore their mental, physical, and emotional health. The International Centre for Youth Wellness (ICY WELL) is the only therapeutic tuition center in East and Central Africa. Nestled in a woodland at the beach of Lake Victoria is the lakeshore campus of the ICY WELL. ICY WELL is hidden deep in the natural setting of the southern shores of Lake Victoria on a beautiful 10-acre woodland surrounded by vast expanse of Lake Victoria, hills and the many Lake Victoria Islands. This awesome environment helps troubled teens completely disconnect from the outside vices of the world that have influenced them thus far. ICY WELL helps troubled teen boys and girls learn Christian values and grow in their faith. We are specifically designed in structure and care to be a positive influence to turn struggling teens around to become mature, thoughtful and respectful young people, with a renewed purpose and outlook on life. The ICY WELL Lakeside Campus is an amazing place, the approach is loving, and the belief is that a changed heart comes from a holistic intervention through a balanced lifestyle and nourished spirit, body and soul. Even if your teen is failing in his faith or is not a Christian ICY WELL will still help him
What do we do at ICY WELL? We are a residential Wellness program providing outstanding clinical therapy, incredible academic individualized home schooling following the 8-4-4 and IGCE curriculum. At ICY WELL, teenagers have the opportunity to get back on track academically. If your son of daughter is out of control, failing school, rebellious, defiant, experimenting drugs and illicit substances , or if you feel you are losing your child, ICY WELL will help get him back on track! ICY WELL is designed to work specifically with teens who have gotten off track in life, or who are lacking motivation in their education and their own future. ICY WELL gives teens the opportunity to turn their life around by offering a fresh start, a quality education or college preparatory studies such as SAT and GRE, as well as sports and vocational training. ICY WELLL has a life skills and outdoor responsibility and adventure intervention to strengthen character. Limiting our care to 40 teens allows our therapists and experience trained staffers to give more attention to each child. An individualized clinical therapy plan and focused care helps our students move to a better place mentally and emotionally in a much shorter period of time. Our residential treatment center also helps struggling teens find positive new ways to manage life’s obstacles and traumas that have strained their well-being and relationships in the past. We provide individual, group, family, and 12-step health therapy. What facilities do we have? ICY WELL facilities include an Education Wing (with a library, a science laboratory and individualized tuition spaces and rooms), accommodation cottages (twin room or dormitory), a dining room, a music and art pavilion, an entertainment centre, a gym, outdoor ball courts, a lake front, an orchard, fish tanks, chicken coops, a greenhouse and more.
