National Boarding School for Struggling Boys

Where aimless and troubled boys are transformed into men of purpose, and families find healing and restoration.

Brush Creek Academy stands as the premier Teen Challenge program for adolescent boys, welcoming students from across the nation. With an unwavering commitment to faith-based transformation, character growth, and academic success, Brush Creek offers a one-of-a-kind experience where boys break free from destructive patterns and rediscover their identity in Christ.

Through championship-level athletics and structured daily routines, boys at Brush Creek gain more than just physical strength—they build confidence, discipline, and resilience. The culture here is one of purpose, respect, and personal ownership. Students are challenged to become leaders, both on and off the field, supported by mentors who are deeply invested in their spiritual and personal development.

Whether your son is struggling with defiance, low motivation, addiction, or emotional distress, there is hope. At Brush Creek Academy, change isn’t just possible—it’s happening every day. Our team is here to walk alongside you and your son, offering grace, accountability, and a fresh vision for a brighter future.

We know how painful it is to see your son drift from his potential. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, you’re not alone. We’ve helped countless families find healing through the redemptive power of Christ. There is no situation too broken for God to redeem.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that every young man has a divine purpose. Whether called to leadership, service, or creativity, each student is guided to discover who he was created to be. The calling is not just to change behavior, but to spark a deep, internal shift that lasts a lifetime.

With Christ at the center of everything we do, our experienced and compassionate staff mentor each student through daily discipleship, biblical counseling, and personal growth studies. From classroom to chapel, from vocational training to sports, every moment is intentionally designed to rebuild identity, character, and faith.

Our accredited, state-recognized private school ensures students stay on track academically while growing spiritually, emotionally, and vocationally. At Brush Creek Academy, students don’t just catch up—they move forward with renewed confidence and direction.

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Brush Creek Academy is a proud part of Teen Challenge of Oklahoma. Teen Challenge has been transforming lives for over 60 years, and its impact is recognized nationwide. We believe no life is too lost and no family is too broken. Every success story is a testament to God’s power to restore and redeem.

As Billy Graham once said, Teen Challenge is “the most successful program for the treatment of drug addiction in America.” President Ronald Reagan called it “the most successful program of its kind.” That legacy of transformation lives on at Brush Creek Academy.

Everything at Brush Creek points young men back to truth, purpose, and the God who never gives up on them. Even when a student is distant from their faith, we walk with them patiently and lovingly, offering the kind of support that creates real, lasting change.

Our Environment

We believe transformation happens in the right environment—one filled with grace, structure, and authentic faith. At Brush Creek Academy, we boldly share biblical truth while respecting each student’s journey. Our goal is not forced compliance, but genuine heart-level change that leads to an unshakable relationship with Christ.

The values of compassion, humility, and service are woven into daily life here. Our team works diligently to cultivate a culture where students move beyond selfishness to embrace the life they were meant to live: one marked by strength, character, and purpose.

Family Restoration

We work to bring hope and healing to the entire family, not just the student.

At Brush Creek Academy, we know that true healing includes the whole family. Our approach is deeply relational and intentionally structured to rebuild broken trust, restore healthy communication, and renew hope in the home.

Through parent coaching, educational resources, and frequent family engagement, we guide parents alongside their sons throughout the transformation process. We know how exhausting the struggle can be—you don’t have to do this alone anymore.

As your son grows in character and maturity, we walk with you in restoring the bond that was damaged. Together, with Christ at the center, healing becomes not just possible—it becomes the new foundation of your family’s future.

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10

We look forward to talking with you about how Brush Creek Academy can serve your son and restore your family. Our passion goes beyond surface-level change—we are here to support a complete transformation that lasts for a lifetime.
