“When I first got into high school, my first thought was ‘Oh man, now I have four more years of school, what a waste of time!’ But guess what? I’M DONE! And I got a perfect score on all of my studies! But best of all is that I FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL MY STUDIES! And it only took me nine months of high school! Thank you Mojave Academy!!!!”

- C.G. (Student)

C.G. graduated high school with a high school diploma at age 14! This success story was written July 19th 2007, shortly after graduating.

“I know that Mojave is the best thing that has ever happened to my daughter, J. Not only is she super happy but she improves her future with every activity that she does there. Her whole life will be different because of you guys and I truly appreciate that, as will J. for the rest of her life.

“Her confront on study and her confront for her future career has increased and that’s the smallest win there as far as I’m concerned. Her whole being has acquired a stability and a certainty and l know that she has learned to live and love others and keep her integrity in at the same time.

“J. had a lot of qualities but being with you reinforced the good and handled a lot of weaknesses that she has had.

“Thank you to the whole team… I’m forever grateful.”

“My son attended Mojave Academy for 5 years.

“He had never been happy in any school he had gone to, and we had tried many.

“He wasn’t a “bad’ kid - he just wasn’t happy sitting in a classroom at a desk for hours and hours each day.

“Then, we found out about Mojave Academy and its 3 programs (Life Basics, Educational Repair, and Academics) and that he would be able to choose his own program and not be stuck at a desk studying things he was not interested in (as he had always been.) We knew this was the place for him and that in addition to providing the right environment, the Mojave programs themselves, using only Mr. Hubbard’s technology on education and child raising, would handle things not normally handled in a traditional classroom and that he would benefit greatly.

“Our son thrived at Mojave. He went from the kid who wanted the simplest cleaning job to the most sought after worker during all-hands projects because he was such a hard worker.

“Our families constantly comment on what a fine young man he is (he is now 14) and how well he communicates with them and how mature he is for his age.

“This past summer at Mojave, he spent his mornings on math and writing (his two favorite subjects) when he wasn’t helping other students. He wrote a short comedy play that the students decided to perform as part of the summer talent show. He played the lead role and the play itself was a big hit.

“Recently, my wife and I were going to be out at dinner time and our son said he would make tacos for dinner. When I checked with him as to whether he knew what to do he said “Dad, I’ve cooked this meal for a lot more people at Mojave than just us 3″. When we got home, the tacos (which were excellent) were on the table.

“He also makes killer salads — better than I can do myself, I am afraid to admit. But, then, I didn’t have the opportunity to go to the Mojave Academy.”

“B. was going to one of the public schools that people move into the neighborhood just to send their kids there. But it wasn’t giving him an education. B. has always wanted to be an inventor; he likes to experiment and kick data around. The school was only set up to give out unqualified data and have the kids regurgitate it.

“We checked into a lot of schools and in the end it was B. who insisted that he go to the Mojave Academy. There he has been allowed to go at his own pace and, as a result, has become expert in several fields. He’s 15 right now and he would be eligible for the majority of the universities in the U.S.

“B. has put together his own list of goals and purposes -­ inventor as a hobby and computers as a career. He has already advanced in computers to a post-graduate level. He reads computer language books for fun and knows four different computer languages; that’s one more than is normally taught at college level. He has written several programs and has been paid for some, as well as writing magazine articles.

“The Mojave Academy gave him an environment where he would not be stopped but encouraged in his abilities, using L. Ron Hubbard’s study and educational technology. It has allowed him to develop his potential as a genius.”

“When J. came out of a private school in academic year 98/99 he was in 2nd grade and reading at 4th grade level. I home schooled him the next year, then put him in public school the year after that. At this time he was put in 4th grade. We had trouble within weeks, mostly with not wanting to do the work. He was still a very good reader and read quite a bit. Then, in 01/02, less than one quarter of the way through 5th grade he suddenly couldn’t read anymore. Let me describe this situation to you. He couldn’t read anymore because he was suddenly a sort of dyslexic, i.e. he was switching letters around in the words, he was adding letters that weren’t in the words and he was leaving letters out. Quite obviously he couldn’t understand what he was reading as he’d never heard the words he was coming up with!

“Frankly I realized that this could be devastating. If he couldn’t read he wouldn’t be able to learn much else in life. If he could read he had the world at his disposal. So I started defining words on him. He would use MILLIONS of sentences, draw pictures as well as demonstrate the definitions for me. No kidding, 30 minutes later he would have no clue what the word meant again. So I panicked and hired a tutor for J. This turned out to be only a little better than a waste of time.

“When I got the Summer Program flyer back in May I got really excited about the prospect that I could send J. to the Mojave Academy and maybe get him ‘fixed’. J. went out for the full two-month summer program and he asked (begged) me to allow him to go back to finish his program.

“He came home on October 11. Hear this and hear this well…this J. can READ again! He not only correctly pronounces the words, he has a much larger vocabulary AND he no longer has any of the signs of ‘dyslexia’ at all. If J. can read - he can learn and do anything in life!

“Thank you all for all your hard work! This boy can read again!”
