Alpine Academy

Therapeutic Residential School in Utah for teenagers. Serves students and their families from the al At first glance, you’ll know Alpine Academy is different.

Our campus is located in a rural farming community at the base of a spectacular mountain range with views of the Great Salt Lake. We believe our peaceful location is part of what makes our healing process work. The open spaces, clean air, and beautiful mountains help create a calm and safe environment where change can occur.

Graduation day at Alpine Academy is always something truly special. Watching each student grow, face challenges, and persevere through their journey to reach this milestone is an incredible privilege. At every graduation, we celebrate not just the finish line, but the strength, resilience, and hard work it took to get here—and the bright new chapters that lie ahead.

It makes the day even more meaningful to have the students families, peers, and their Alpine team all together on campus, honoring every step of this journey. We are so proud of all that our graduates have accomplished and can’t wait to see where life takes them next. 🎓✨

Getting to reconnect with you all and spend a couple of days together is truly one of the biggest highlights of our year. We are so incredibly excited for this one, and we really appreciate the opportunity to catch up and celebrate everything you have been up to since leaving campus.

For now, you don't need to do anything except block off those days. We will be sending out an email in April with the details and a link to RSVP.

We are hoping to see as many of you there as possible, so please spread the word!

Healing & Horses! We’re very fortunate to give our students the opportunity to work side by side with horses right here on our campus. Equine therapy is so powerful and can be truly life changing.

At Alpine Academy, we are committed to making sure our programming is well structured and understood by all no matter the job title. Recently, we had our yearly summit workshop where everyone comes together to discuss important topics that impact the work we do. This time it was our motivation system that students work through during their stay. It was a day full of team building, connection, and a great reminder of why we do the meaningful work we do.

Today, one of our students was advancing to her self determination stage. She put together an art presentation that represented her life and time here at Alpine Academy.

“All of the art you have viewed represents a time and moment in my life. Being on self determination represents new beginnings. Being in Alpine represents new friends, and the therapy offered represents change within myself.” — An Alpine Academy Student

The Alpine Academy team could not be more proud. We are always cheering you on Audrey Miller!

“As I stood on the beach in my regalia, I was reminded of everything it took to get here.

In 2025, I earned my doctorate on paper, knowing I still had a year of internship ahead before I could practice independently. Today, in 2026, I officially practice as Dr. Miller, DNP, NP, BSN, a moment that feels both surreal and deeply humbling.

This accomplishment is not mine alone.

There are a few very special people who entered my life when I was just a teenager and forever changed the woman I would become. I am endlessly grateful for my time at Alpine Academy. They believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. They pushed me to be better and do better every single day. Even after graduation, they were always just a phone call away on the hard days and the loudest voices celebrating my wins.

From the teachers who sat with me while I cried over homework, to the house staff who challenged me in ways I will always be thankful for, this is the reason I went into nursing in the first place. It is why I now practice as a DNP in psychiatric medicine. One day, I hope to leave the kind of impact on others that they left on me and continue to leave every day on that campus.

The year 2025 pushed me mentally and physically, leaving me fighting for my life twice in the ICU, the most recent time only two weeks ago. There were so many moments I wanted to give up. But I kept going, not only because of what they taught me, but because they never stopped believing in me.

I came to them as a broken 13 year old girl who never imagined life could be this beautiful or that she could accomplish all of her dreams.

Today, I close a 10 year academic race. Ten years of grinding, studying, and missing birthdays and holidays so that I could one day call myself Dr. Miller, DNP, NP, BSN. So that I could look a 13 year old in the eyes and say, I believe in you, because someone once said that to me.

And now, here I am, living the most beautiful life I could have ever imagined.

2026 is the year I get to live again. To travel, to breathe, and to step into a new role in the months ahead.

So once again, thank you for always believing in me. 🤍”

We kicked off the holiday season with a Christmas assembly where students and employees performed musical numbers, poetry, and more. After the show, we enjoyed sweet treats provided by the culinary arts class. Alpine Academy is wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

The Alpine Academy choir headed over to a nearby assisted living facility to spread some holiday cheer and sing a few songs they have been practicing. This is just one of the many ways our students give back and connect with the community. Alpine Academy is wishing everyone a happy holiday season.

What a great visit with Jennifer Benson and Rebekah Jordan last week! Opportunities to sit down with educational consultants on our campus is always a treat. We spent time with their students they helped place at Alpine, learned about other students and families they’re working with, and got to explore the changing needs of families looking for care.

At Alpine, we always want to ensure that we are the right program for any student who comes and will have the best chances of success. Working with educational consultants like Jennifer and Rebekah helps us do just that!

At Alpine Academy, we prioritize the education and support of our employees. When someone joins the team, they attend our Elevate training to further learn about our students, their needs, and our therapeutic modalities. This is to ensure they feel prepared for their roles as well as making sure our students get the proper support for their treatment.

At Alpine Academy, we love helping our students find different creative outlets. Friday art club is one of the many ways we do so. Enjoy some current projects our students are working on!

Our students recently ended the summer with their annual camping trip. It’s always great to connect with the great outdoors. They spent a few days hiking, performing skits, and connecting around the campfire.
