I would like to express my support for Aspen Education Group and the programs that they provide for troubled and addicted youth. As a parent of a teen that participated in and graduated from Copper Canyon Academy, an Aspen Education program, I greatly appreciated their status as a licensed residential program. As a licensed counselor in the state of Arizona, I appreciated that Copper Canyon was accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. The oversight that accreditation requires gave me a great deal of assurance that Copper Canyon would provide a quality program for my daughter.
