Uinta Parent Testimonials

All we though she was capable of achieving is now happening! This would not have been accomplished without the love and support she received at Uinta Academy.
AndyFormer Uinta Parent
We are ever grateful for Uinta Academy and its incredibly talented and caring staff. You saved Lacey’s life and there are no words to express our gratitude.
Cindy & GregFormer Uinta Parents
The transformation, more like a rebirth, has given this sweet young lady a second change for happiness, success and life itself.
JoelFormer Uinta Parent
The journey wasn’t always an easy one, but today she is a happy and healthy young woman with a bright future ahead.
KarenFormer Uinta Parent
We visited two other programs in the area. They were respected and impressive programs, but neither of them had engaged owners that shared the passion that you bring to Uinta. Neither program felt like a home the way yours does.
Beth & JimFormer Uinta Parents
We are so grateful to God for putting angels like you in Gabi’s life.
Eddie & MichelleFormer Uinta Parents
Naomi loved putting on the Greek play and reported that she had a really great time doing the project. She was happy that people laughed and she loved her acting part.
I love the classical music appreciation. Tying in history, film, graphics and music together for the girls is incredible I have been trying to get my daughter to listen to classical music.
I feel the expressive arts are so important to a young person’s life. These girls will have missed a very meaningful part of living life to its fullest, if you hadn’t taken the time and effort to awaken an appreciation and a love of theater, classical music, history and art.
MarieFormer Uinta Parents
It is a very hard thing to turn your daughter over to anyone and especially hard for such an extended period of time. I know I did the right thing and Sarahcate really does have a second chance now at making good choices and having a very happy and successful life in whatever she wants to pursue in the future.
JulieFormer Uinta Parent
I want to personally thank you and your team for everything you did for Lexie. You saved her life and we’ll be forever in your debt. I had fewer worries when she was with you knowing she was well cared for. She now has a great foundation to continue to move forward and make positive change, all thanks to Uinta.
I can’t say enough good things about everyone. You have a great team. Not only are they very proficient, but you can also tell they are very caring and supportive of the young ladies. I marvel at everyone’s patience and professionalism when dealing with the girls and us parents!
AndyFormer Uinta Parent
Thank you for helping our daughter find herself and her way back to her family.
Chip & KerryFormer Uinta Parents
You guys were far different than a ‘cure’. You are the voice inside my head that provides direction in a world without signs, roads or even a map. And because of you we have survived, more than survived.
