RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL/RIDGE CREEK WILDERNESS - TRUDGING THROUGH THE MUCK

To fully understand what murky water one must wade through, let us glance at an excerpt taken from the website of Thomas J. Croke founder of “Family Light.”  Mr. Croke is an educational consultant.

Family Light Thomas J. Croke

“Ridge Creek has  settled into a new identity and focus.  Historically, it was  a wilderness program.  In 2009, it expanded into a therapeutic "College Prep [School] with a Wilderness Twist."  Since then, the wilderness program has been dropped, and the therapeutic boarding school well establishcd.   Ridge Creek School, took over the buildings of a former school  historically located near it.  However in the fall of 2011, those buildings will become the site of newly founded boarding and day school that will not have therapeutic content.  Ridge Creek will return to the nearby buildings that are mostly unussd at the time this is written.”

If one is going to put their reputation on the line, one should investigate the school they recommend. It is not enough to add a disclaimer. The family pays you a fee to do your homework. Whether or not you place a disclaimer on your website, you have a moral and ethical responsibility, not to mention a fiduciary one.  Before placing this drivel on your website, perhaps you should remember, a child’s life is in your hands.

There is a huge problem here.  The ORCC documents state on one hand that Ridge Creek Wilderness (RCW) program was indeed active in 2009 and 2010, yet on the other hand, the ORCC documents state the RCW program was not active.   Several DFCS and ORCC interviews with students and parents state that their children were sent to RCW in 2009 and 2010.   More alarming, students stated that “Wilderness Intervention” was not a “program,” but a “Tavern” also known amongst insiders as “The Chalet."  Several children were sent to “Wilderness Intervention” for eight days as part of behavior modification; according to DFCS, this is no longer allowed per the ORCC.

RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL - BREAKING NEWS - DIRECTOR GONE???

Reports are coming out of Dahlonega that Mr. Keith Bishop Program Director/Program Administrator no longer works at Ridge Creek School...??  Mr. Bishop started in February.

Mr. Bishop, if you have indeed resigned, please call the ORCC.  On second thought, the GBI, or FBI.
For the children left behind.
