The Academy of the Sierras, When Four- or Eight- Weeks is Just the Beginning…

Healthy Living Academies recognizes that 4 to 8 weeks spent at Wellspring plus the 3-month After-Care Program, is a critical first step, but may not be a complete solution, especially for campers who are 50-100 lbs. overweight or more.

This is why Healthy Living Academies operates Academy of the Sierras (AOS), the first comprehensive solution for teens struggling with their weight – year-round therapeutic boarding schools for permanent weight loss with campuses in California and North Carolina.

With Wellspring New York in mind, Academy of the Sierras California created the AOS College Program, for college-age young men women. The first College Program class enrolled in August 2007. Students in the College Program attend scheduled classes at Reedley College during the day while participating fully in AOS culinary, nutrition and fitness classes, and all other aspects of the AOS program.

AOS has been profiled on CNN, Dateline NBC, and in hundreds of newspapers and magazines.
