Today's Teens. Tomorrow's Leaders.
For ten years, Torch Learning Programs, and the Torch Academy have been serving teens and adults through our “Hi-Ropes” teambuilding and Leadership programs. Our curiculum is based on life-skill learning programs, originally designed to prepare teens for college. It is a self discovery / experiential learning experience where the students learn through practice.
WHY TEENS NEED THIS PROGRAM
"Some beliefs keep us from success."
In everything from getting along with parents, coaches, brothers and sisters, to getting the grades in school
that we are capable of, and maybe even attaining the success in sports or other interests; what we believe is what we manifest.
Torch Learning Academy provides the programs where teen's time management, organizational, and especially communication skills,
are brought out and enhanced in a highly effective manner: by practice.
FORM HABIT
Teens will learn the value of time, and time management. They learn and understand how to be “on time” in
life and why it is important.
POSITIVE TALK
Teens learn that what one says matters! Whether positive or negative; both outwardly and what we say to ourselves matters.
REINFORCING VALUES
We guide teens in understanding the value of being trusting and trustworthy while also creating trusting and trustworthy relationships.

When I first came to the Torch Academy I wanted nothing to do with it. I sat there saying to myself wow, am I really going to be doing this for the whole weekend. Little did I know that just being there was the first step to changing my life drastically. That weekend was more then just three of the shortest days of my life, it helped shape me into the person I am to today and want to be tomorrow.
