The typical duration of the program is 15 months, with the possibility of extension if needed, and the fee for admission is $9,450. This amount covers tuition, lodging, meals, activities, toiletries, and uniforms. Families are encouraged to inquire about scholarship options and eligibility prior to enrollment. The center emphasizes spiritual growth through group activities five days a week, daily personal reflection, church attendance every Sunday, and natural discipleship throughout the week.
