Christian Boarding School for Girls in Birmingham

Evangelhouse Christian Boarding School for Girls Focus

At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls in Birmingham, no unchecked bullying is allowed. To put it mildly, a significant portion of public schools in Birmingham are known for maintaining disruptive, chaotic environments. Long-standing social and legal tendencies have created environments that can only be described as chaotic and unregulated, which foster casual bullying and sporadic violent outbursts. Such improper conduct is uncommon at a Christian institution because of its moral standards and stringent code of conduct.

Our Christian boarding school for girls maintains a disciplined, structured environment. Through our therapeutic and milieu staff members who act as role models for our girls, we foster encouragement of dignity and respect for other people. This cultural norm at Evangelhouse is greatly aided by clear norms and students’ expectations of self-disciplined behavior.

Another positive attribute of Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls is our focus on common ideals. Being around like-minded people who have received the same Christian education on a daily basis immensely aids in helping your child mature into a responsible adult who knows how to live each day in God’s love with like moral neighbors.

We enroll girls from Birmingham and nearby cities due to our proximity and ability to work with Birmingham public and private schools for credit transfer.

Our Christian Boarding School Community

The unique setting at Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls provides a safe community that we believe allows our students to grow and study. In our community, we eliminate many of the outside world’s stressors that can hinder our residents from performing well academically and feeling well emotionally. 

Many of the stressors in our outside world may create overwhelming situations for our teens that are difficult to cope with. In the interest of fostering beneficial change in our teenage girls, we help them to develop coping strategies. We provide positive community experiences for our girls through community service projects and a supportive milieu.

Community Service at Evangelhouse

It has been demonstrated through academic research that participating in community service may help young people in a variety of ways before, during, and even after their high school years. The advantages of volunteering may impact students’ life at Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls on many levels—professionally, academically, and emotionally.

Students at Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls in Birmingham have involvement in community service projects that are supervised by the school. Our graduates have told us that the skills they learned through their volunteering at Evangelhouse were useful to them once they started looking for a career. Volunteering teaches them important skills that girls typically can’t get in a classroom. Better communication, teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and time management are a few examples of these abilities. Employers frequently seek employees with experience in these fields.

Through volunteering at Evangelhouse, girls gain confidence and life experience from community involvement. Students get the chance to work with a wide range of diverse people via their service. They have a feeling of social awareness as a result of this. Our girls gain tolerance and understanding while experiencing firsthand how they can make a difference in their neighborhood.

Therapeutic Milieu Programming at Evangelhouse

The main goal of Milieu treatment programming is to eliminate the stressors that can trigger negative emotions from our teenage residents. In turn, when we achieve de-risking of our residents, we produce a therapeutic setting.  Under the protection of a controlled therapeutic setting, our residents are able to develop new coping mechanisms. These new coping mechanisms become their personal set of tools to better cope with and understand the world. As our residents become more familiar with the routine at Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls, their ability to feel safe increases. Likewise, in a mutually safe environment, the peer group is able to build trust and make great progress in promoting emotional growth within each individual.

There are many advantages to participating in Milieu therapy. One advantage is that our teenagers learn to accept responsibility for their own actions. Another advantage is that they learn how to open up and disclose their difficulties. Our peer group receives regular feedback during therapy and this allows our residents to observe how their actions affect the community. This therapy setting offers them time to process and reflect on the consequences of the actions or decisions they have made in the past and how they can improve moving forward. 

At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls in Birmingham, our residents will participate in milieu therapy and gain coping skills that will help them in the real world.

    Traditional Values for Modern Times

    At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls, we have seen many issues over the years plague young girls in grades 6-12. Today’s issues are more profound than ever. It used to be that just picking a career, or finding a marital partner was the most a girl had to worry about. 

    Today’s modern fast-paced world is much different. Girls go online to socialize and connect. They are in social competitions for likes on social media, and they are pressured to take photos showing their best sides in the public for followers. Online bullying and other cyber pressures are unique to this generation of girls. 

    Below are 5 issues that are different today for girls:

    “Fitting in”

    From buying the right clothes to hanging out with the right people, fitting in today is harder than ever. Part of this is due to how publicly the typical teen lives thanks to the internet. Often, the pressure to fit in is too much. This is when the outside help of a therapeutic boarding school like Evangelhouse is warranted.

    Motivation

    Teenagers have gotten more secluded in their virtual worlds. No longer are teens motivated by getting their own car or a job. It’s often difficult to find motivation for a young teen that does not involve something related to a screen. At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls, we help girls find that inner spark and re-discover who they are. 

    Disrespect

    Teens are surrounded by disrespect today. They see it in the movies they watch and the online games they play. It’s pervasive in modern music as well. Even female “role models” in modern pop music sing songs that are often disrespectful to themselves. At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls, we help young ladies build self-respect through our positive peer culture.

    Depression and Anxiety

    Interacting mainly online has been linked to depression and anxiety. We look at photos of others online and it’s just human nature to compare. Being cooped up at home and cut off from the rest of the world only adds to the sensation.

    Teens are suffering from depression and anxiety perhaps more than ever before. Many teens’ online “friends” will post only the best photos on vacation after taking multiple shots. This leaves followers feeling inadequate and that they are somehow missing out.

    At Evangelhouse Christian boarding school for girls, we treat depression, anxiety, and a host of other issues. Individual, family, and group therapy interventions are structured within the Evangelhouse Lifeleaf™ system. This state-of-the-art system challenges students to work beyond symptom improvement. This unique integrative approach leads students to maturity, insight, and self-awareness. The blend of Christian values and professional clinical psychotherapy includes:

    • Professional assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning
    • Weekly individual therapy

    • The unique Evangelhouse stages of change system
    • Experiential family therapy retreats
    • EMDR Trauma Therapy is available as needed

    This school literally has given my daughter her life back and has given us the tools to help her and herself into the future. This is a full circle, all encompassing program. From admission to graduation. Do not delete this school from your list! I almost did because it was far away...and...to be honest, I wasn't sure how I felt about a "Christian" school. Whether you are religious or not, don't be put off or think your child is going to be brainwashed. She's not! It is a part of the day and I thought my daughter would hate it (and so did she). But it turns out she found great comfort there and her faith! I thoroughly investigated this school. In addition to my own research, I also hired a company that researches and screens these types of programs. I also had my daughter's psychiatrist interview the director! I've done all the researching and investigating for you. Whatever your daughter's issues may be, I probably have them covered! My daughter's diagnosis' range from ADHD, Anxiety, High Risk Behavior, Adoption issues/trauma and psychosis. Do not waste your time. Don't wait for Spring or end of school or whatever timeline. Act now! The happiest day of my life was delivering her to the ECA. I actually slept for the first time in years. Knowing my daughter was finally getting the help she so deserved. Therapy, school, socialization, faith, responsibility, accountability, self-worth and confidence. We all ask or pray for help. Consider ECA as prayers answered.

    I graduated from ECA 4 years ago, and I can genuinely say that this place is truly amazing. It can and will help your daughter if she wants to put in the work. The staff and the girls I was with all made me feel like family and that I mattered. This place really saved my life, so if you are looking for a place that will help your daughter please send her here, I promise they will take care of her.

    We had a troubled teen. I found ECA online. I made a call and set up a visit. We were looking for a place that included God and biblical principles in their program. Now that our child has finished the program, WOW! Thank you ECA leadership. Every one on staff believes in the program. It shows! and it works!!

    This school has been an absolute Godsend for my daughter and our family. We realized a few months ago that she needed residential treatment. After an exhaustive search, we found the wonderful people at Evangelhouse. They do an amazing job keeping parents updated and are always available when we call. I have been impressed with the way that they are firm with the girls but also loving and caring. The process there is amazing, especially since it involves the family also. We were so happy to find a place that provides professional counseling with a Christian focus.

    Two years ago we were struggling to get our daughter on the right track. We had tried everything and knew that she would need to be placed in a residential treatment facility. We had searched for at least a year to find the right place. Were looking for a Christian, all girls, small, therapeutic program not too far from Texas. Somehow, someway, God lead us to the Evangelhouse website. We are so glad that we took his direction because it has meant a world of difference for our daughter, our family, our marriage, and our peace of mind! Evangelhouse has taken a once broken, low-self esteem, miserable, self-centered, hostile, angry, self-doubting teenager in crisis and changed her into a Christ-centered, selfless, self-loving, servant-hearted, mature, sensible, responsible, thoughtful young adult. ECA implements a program that strips each student down to the bare necessities in order for them to focus on what is truly important in life. I don't know where we would be without ECA. I now know what it is like to have a functional, happy, and peaceful family life.
