Tarheel ChalleNGe Academy - New London

I don't if Mr Sutton is still there or Mr carr
2002 so long ago I miss it. Class 19 for duce. we set records. Great place to send Kids with no vision or lack of a path to give them a real chance. Best 7 months ever.

I just dropped my 17 year old off on 4/29/2017 and even though he's not a bad kid. He lacks structure and this is the best thing I could have done for him. I love the challenge. I saw a 360 turn around less than 30 days afterward for the first family day visit. I'm a proud and thankful mother.

A program for young adults who may have gotten off course or disinterested in school. Another option to get our young people back on track. Discipline & order & comraderie gives them an appreciation for team work and accountability!

Great program! My now 17 yr old will be Graduating this Thursday! She definitely needed the structure and discipline and is a different child. All though there were a few hiccups the staff is Wonderful! Thanks TCA for turning my daughter into a young woman.

By my rating I am not saying at all that this place is awful, but it definitely has some areas it could have major approvement in. I was apart of Class 57. I most definitely gained a lot of skills for life and lost a lot of weight. I enjoyed having a daily agenda and a time limit things needed to be done at, it definitely helped a lot. But I do think that the program as a whole needs to watch the staff they hire and fully train them. NO FEMALE CADET should feel uncomfterable or being "flirted" with. During my stay their I mentioned this issue but it was ignored mostly instead one of the head leaders said "I am sorry I didn't listen to you, I just didn't want any assumptions to be made". So basically your more worried about the way you look then the saftey of your cadets? I think as a whole the mindset of the staff should be changed and redirected. Also this program is clearly for "troubled youth", so how is cussing/showing/talking about unhelpful things that a cadet used to do supposed to help them. This whole program needs a whole new outlook and attitude change.

The staff at this location does not follow protocol. The officers at this location only care about their job and receiving their check. They abuse their power with those that work under them. They let the cadets get away with things they should not. The only thing they make them do is run and do push-ups. As far as to work here this is a horrible location. They gravitate to the older generation, and don’t take up for the younger ones that work for them. I was told by a sheriff that this was the worst thing that happened to their city. Something needs to happen about this.

experience was terrible. i started having extreme thoughts and the punishments were terrible. taking away food? hitting us with rulers? not it.
