How are Boot Camps Different from Military Boarding Schools?
Boot camps are generally a short term intervention whereas military boarding schools are a longer term placement with more emphasis placed on scholarship.

Military boarding schools set up more like residential treatment centers or therapeutic boarding schools are available now in different parts of the country Intake counselors will be more than happy to explain to you which category they fall into.
