Monarch School was a year round, co-ed therapeutic boarding school located in Heron, Montana. It closed abruptly in September, 2017, with its owners citing unsustainable student enrollment as the primary reason. Monarch students moved up a five-step system throughout their stay contingent on their performance in classes, work crews, and group therapy. The students at the school participated in group sessions three to four times a week.

History

Monarch School, INC was incorporated in Idaho by founder Patrick McKenna in September 2000. According to The Mission Statement, "The Monarch School exists to provide young adults with the foundation of knowledge and self-awareness to achieve their dreams as a healthy human being."

As the school did not have an official campus when it opened, McKenna ran the school out of his North Idaho home. In late 2001, students moved from the Mckenna residence onto the Monarch campus in Heron, Montana, a setting described as "160 acres of pure heaven."

The school housed a kitchen, farm, equestrian barn, greenhouse, and forestry shed, almost all of which were built by students by hand over the years of its existence and all of which were student-run. Students participated in work crews, assigned labor like chipping ice, building furniture and fences and buildings, animal husbandry and forest management.

Admissions

Monarch School offered year-round enrollment, and cost of tuition was a "flat monthly tuition rate of $4000."
