Tuition and Dates
Wellspring recognizes that sending your child to one of our Academies represents a significant investment of time and resources for your family. It is our job to create a supportive, safe, and nurturing environment, and it is our mission to ensure your child is provided the opportunity to return to a healthy lifestyle. With private facilities on beautiful campuses, a 1:2 student to staff ratio, and leading researchers and experts in the field, we have a renowned program that has enabled hundreds of students to lose tens of thousands of pounds. The transformations are often awe-inspiring.
Tuition
Tuition at Wellspring is $6,250 per month. Tuition covers the entire program, including diet management, activity management, behavioral, residential and academic.
The minimum length of enrollment is 4 months. Students typically enroll for 1-2 semesters (4-9 months).
We work hard with each family to ensure their son or daughter can partake in the transformative experience that Wellspring provides. In many cases, nearly 25% of monthly tuition fees will be reimbursed by a family’s health insurance provider. We also work with an independent loan organization to help families gain loan assistance. Finally, recent tax law changes may enable families to claim some portion of tuition expense as a tax deduction. To learn more about all of these options, click here .
Dates
Applications are accepted throughout the year for regular start dates at each Wellspring campus.

A note on timing
In our experience, it’s important to minimize the length of time between the decision to attend Wellspring and the date of enrollment. The reason? This period tends to be disastrous from a weight-control standpoint. We have seen many students gain 20, 30 or even 40 lbs. over a few months while waiting for a planned start date. Most teens will approach diet and activity in this interim period as: It doesn’t matter, because I’ll lose the weight at Wellspring.
This level of weight gain can prolong the amount of time the student will need to spend at Wellspring. So we recommend minimizing this period of time – either by waiting to formally communicate the decision to your child, or by accelerating the enrollment. Wellspring Academies enroll new students each month, space permitting.
