Discipline for teens in a modified Christian Boot Camp Format
Discipline with love and compassion along with a strong Spiritual emphasis is
the primary emphasis at Bethel Academy, a Christian boot camp.
Life as a Teen in our modern society can get out of control. Our firm,
structured discipline with genuine concern for the long haul brings
about life change in the hearts and minds of our Cadets.
We utilize the military discipline format simply because it teaches conformity
to authority, structure and submission at our Christian boarding school..
Using this modified military format, Bethel Academy has become a top Christian boot camp
for producing long-term results. Discipline is an important if not
critical issue at Bethel Academy! The manner in which discipline is
administered on a daily basis is monitored and directed with constant
oversight by Bethel leadership.
Below are some of the key precautions and procedures to maintaining a Christian
boot camp that is free of abuse or neglect.
1. All Instructors have background checks to assure they are safe to work with
teen boys.
2.
Instructors understand that striking a boy is grounds for immediate
dismissal and possible criminal charges. We maintain an in house
consultant to train our Drill Instructors and monitor discipline
policies. See our Zero Tolerance Policy page for more details.
3. Issues of serious nature are recorded on a standardized exception
form known as a "Norm Violation Report". Our Quality Assurance Manager
oversees reporting and participates in the hearing process #4 and #5
below.
4. Reports generated in the field mentioned in #3 are reviewed in a
staff hearing to allow for secondary assessment of infractions.
5. Depending upon the outcome of the hearing, the cadet involved is
given disciplinary duties, cleared of part or all of the charges or
given a warning to not do whatever he did again.
