The Samaritan Center - Report Card

We are asked often about the effectiveness of our programs. Because of this, we work to develop ways to convey our successes in quantitative and anecdotal formats that demonstrate the progress of our students. We are conscious of progress identified in three distinct areas; academic achievement, social/behavioral improvement, and family restoration progress.

This assessment will outline the most recent academic achievement and behavioral progress of a selection of our students. As you can imagine, the improvement of each of the boys involves increased self-discipline, a positive attitude (most of the time), acceptance of authority (i.e. following directions), improvement in self-esteem, and the motivation to succeed.

All our other boys have had similar positive results. Those in residence only a few months show improvement, though not as dramatic as those in our program for over a year.

Bottom line: Your support, your prayers, and your investment in our program and in our boys are returning very positive improvements. These improvements set the stage for the boys to become better students, better employees, better husbands, and better fathers. In addition, the boy’s families are learning how to parent their households using Christian values and principles.
