Aspen Education Group is an organization that is committed to improving the quality of life for youth and their families. Aspen's programs exist at the intersection of therapy and education for students that have demonstrated behavioral issues that are interfering with their performance in school and life. Recognizing that every individual is different and challenged by different needs, Aspen offers a wide diversity of educational programs, settings and solutions that match client needs with the right learning and therapeutic environment. Through the 38 programs that Aspen operates in 13 states and the United Kingdom , parents can choose from a variety of therapeutic environments that include boarding schools, experiential outdoor education programs, and weight-loss residential high schools and summer weight loss camps.



Aspen has been operating programs since the 1980's. Philip L. Herschman, President says, "I believe strongly that by providing value to our clients, Aspen will continue to grow and expand across the country as the leader in the provision of innovative educational and treatment programs that promote academic and personal growth. We are expanding to be able to provide additional programs in more geographic areas that give families wider choice." Today, Aspen employs about 2,000 employees and assisted more than 4,500 students in 2006, and is the recognized national leader in the provision of therapeutic educational services to the private sector. "While Aspen continues to expand, its strength is in the quality of each individual program and its local leadership and staff," says Herschman.
