The goal of Seaside Academy is to provide a highly effective learning atmosphere for teens who have struggled in their home, at school, or in their community.

Seaside Academy is located just a little over 20 miles south of San Diego, California, near the seaport town of Rosarita, Mexico. The area is beautiful, peaceful, and conducive to change. Seaside Academy is designed to help struggling teens replace inappropriate attitudes and behaviors and at the same time excell academically.



The foreign experience at Seaside Academy has many benefits. First, the students are put into an entirely new environment, away from the negative friends and influences that have adversely affected their lives. Second, the teens discover that they are in an unfamiliar culture. As a result, the teens tend to be much more teachable and open to change and direction. Third, a foreign experience helps broaden the teen's insight, awareness and perspective. Fourth, a foreign setting is much more impacting and instills a greater appreciation for home and family. Fifth, not only do the teens get the help they need, but a valuable foreign experience that they will likely remember and appreciate the rest of their lives. Additionally, due to the greater value of the U.S. dollar in Mexico, the Academy can provide its services at a significant reduction of cost to families. All of these reasons make Mexico an excellent option for teens needing to make changes in their lives.
