Walking, Talking, Heart To Heart

With struggling boys 8-12 years old.

Vision Boys Academy focuses on building effective communication with each boy, and his parent. Personal experiences with adoption, rebellion and academic troubles help us connect and relate one on one. Leading at-risk boys, enrolling ages 8-12, to be Godly and upright young men – that’s our purpose!

Where Struggling Boys Learn Respect, Happiness, And Joy

Vision wants to help struggling boys who:
  • Suffer from not being able to form healthy emotional relationships with birth or adoptive parents, including RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder),
  • Are unable to remain focused, ADHD, (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
  • Display signs of early rebellion, refuses to obey, shows argumentative behavior, ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder),
  • Simply need a change of environment, separated from the negative impact of internet addictions, and harmful relationships.
Johnny’s Story

I came to Vision Boys Academy one year ago at age 11 and was grossly overweight. Before going to Vision, I would sit at home, steal snacks all day and play video games. But that way of life changed when I joined Vision Boys Academy—no video games, no sitting around all day. We all stuck to a schedule that included lots of activities, and good food! After a year, I’ve lost 130 pounds, and I’m a lot more confident about my studies (ranked as the third highest student). All because of the positive change and daily structure they gave me at Vision. — Johnny.

A Heart For Troubled And Adopted Boys

Boys at Vision Boys Academy enjoy outdoor activities on our 27-acre campus that includes a fishing pond, basketball court, and weight-lifting area. Boys live in a comfortable dorm, able to house 12-15 boys in a safe, caring environment monitored by staff 24/7. Students and staff enjoy healthy meals together every day in our family-style cafeteria. Boys attend classes, Monday through Friday, in our newly updated schoolhouse. Vision staff and their families also live on-campus in housing attached to the school.

With a heart for adopted boys, Vision Boys Academy’s Director, Shawn Parker earned his BS degree from Oklahoma Baptist College. As an ordained Baptist minister, he provides Bible-based counseling to each boy as they interact daily on-site. He also keeps parents up to date on their son’s progress with a personal phone call every other week.
