*(The Meadows, like many other programs in this industry, keeps a "tight lid" on any specific information regarding their staff, qualifications, and practices. Please contact us with the names of any staff of which you have firsthand knowledge or experience. Thank you for your help.) | ||
The Meadows is operated by the former COO of Aspen Education Group. Thomas J. Croke, Educational Consultant, has denounced Aspen Education Group for putting profits over the safety and care of children in Aspen programs. | ||
HEAL has reviewed multiple Aspen Education Group contracts that appear to be illusory, unconscionable, void/voidable, and arguably illegal. HEAL does not currently have access to the enrollment materials for this program. Since the information available is limited, we recommend you compare any contract with the reviews of Aspen Education Group contracts available on our website such as the reviews for Adirondack Leadership Expeditions, Aspen Achievement Academy, Aspen Ranch, Aspen Institute of Behavioral Assessment, and New Leaf Academy. It is our suggestion that families avoid doing business with Aspen Education Group, former leadership at Aspen Education Group, and/or their individual programs. |
