Not to be confused with the Wellspring Academy Trust, which manages schools in the north of England.
Wellspring Academies (formerly Academy of the Sierras) was a pair of therapeutic boarding schools for overweight and obese children, teens, and young adults, both operated by Wellspring, a division of Aspen Education Group. It is said to be the first weight loss boarding school in the United States.[1][2]
As of September 2009 Wellspring Academies had two campuses.
The California campus is in Reedley, California, about 30 minutes southeast of Fresno, and has 90 students ages 13–24 (grades 8–12, as well as a college-age program run in conjunction with Reedley College).[3]
A second campus, located in Brevard, North Carolina and known as Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas (or WSCL), has roughly 30 students ages 11–18 (grades 6–11).[4]
