GROW ACADEMY

Grow Academy is a public high school that is part of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections school district, located in Oregon, WI with about 2 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade.

The Grow Academy, located in Oregon, Wisconsin, is a unique juvenile correctional facility operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Unlike traditional detention centers, the Academy is designed as a residential treatment program for young men who have been adjudicated delinquent. The facility utilizes a therapeutic, trauma-informed approach aimed at rehabilitation, personal growth, and successful community reintegration rather than purely punitive measures.

The program’s core philosophy centers on experiential learning, vocational training, and character development. Residents participate in a structured curriculum that emphasizes discipline, teamwork, and accountability, often incorporating outdoor work and agricultural projects to teach practical life skills. By fostering a supportive environment that addresses the underlying behavioral and emotional needs of its students, Grow Academy seeks to reduce recidivism and empower youth to develop the skills and self-discipline necessary to become productive, responsible members of society upon their release.
