Other activities include
Are there income requirements' for placement
No. When FGBR started, the board decided that as a ministry the most un-Christlike thing we could tell families is that they cannot get help because they don’t have money. So, we decided, in faith, to not charge any tuition to our families but to simply ask them to sacrificially provide support. A family’s support would never impact their child from entering the program. We also do not receive any state or federal funding. Our entire program, other than a small percentage of our mental health services, is funded by donations.
Do the boys attend school while at FGBR
Yes, we have a school on Campus that follows the Accelerated Christian Education Curriculum... overseen by a full-time teacher .
