From 10 Schools to the Right Fit for Ryan

For Ryan and his parents, finding the right school was a long and challenging journey. Adopted from Russia nearly 13 years ago, Ryan struggled with behavioral and emotional challenges. Over time, he attended 10 different schools, but none could provide the structure and support he needed.

A Shift at High Road School

When Ryan enrolled at the High Road School of Massachusetts, things began to change. The school’s combination of clear rules and compassionate support gave him a safe space to grow. His mom, Lisa, noted the positive impact on his self-esteem:

“Ryan has a lot of good in him, and the staff at High Road excel in bringing it out.”

Positive Changes and Parental Relief

For the first time, Lisa and Paul received uplifting updates about Ryan’s progress instead of daily reports of struggles. Lisa expressed her relief:

“It is so nice getting positive calls and emails from the school.”

Lisa, a teacher herself, shared how Ryan’s experiences shaped her as an educator:

“I’ve taught for 31 years and have more patience with all my students because of what I’ve gone through with Ryan.”

High Road’s structured, personalized approach helped Ryan feel understood, respected, and supported. For the Goldens, it was the ideal environment where Ryan could thrive.
