“My time at PPA was the most transforming period of my life. I came out of my shell and learned to enjoy being me. Now I live on my own as a student at New York University; I will never be able to express the depth of my gratitude to Ponca Pines staff and students for the love and guidance they provided me so that I now literally live my dream.”

M.M., Former PPA Graduate

“Ponca Pines Academy has given me not only a future but the tools to be successful in that future. I’m more confident and a stronger leader. I also have stronger morals and values and more integrity to stick to those morals despite outside forces. Thanks to Ponca Pines I’ve been able to chase after and accomplish my dreams.”

A.C., PPA Graduate

“Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for all the help you’ve provided to our daughter, and of course, to Ed and me. I know there will be some rough times for our daughter, but also know that she has a much better inner foundation upon which to draw. Ponca Pines Academy provided our daughter and us with support beyond our dreams…we are forever in your debt.”

A.M., Parent

“…we felt like we had found a “little gem” of a program in Ponca Pines. The location and the East Coast, no doubt, will certainly appeal to our parents, but more importantly, the strength in your program model and the cohesive team of talented, committed and highly skilled staff will certainly stand out. We were WOWED!”
