provide a residential facility known as the minnesota girls academy (mga) the minnesota girls academy is a kosher, therapeutic, residential setting where healing begins for girls and their families. We assist girls ages 13 to 17 in overcoming the emotional or behavioral struggles that can keep them from living fulfilling lives and having healthy social and familial relationships. Mga is founded upon the belief that every girl is unique. Because each child possesses a distinct compilation of experiences, talents, relationships, and struggles, mga offers a treatment program that is customized to meet her special needs and help her become more confident, secure, and healthy. By combining the best features of a boarding school, a treatment facility, and a transition program, we are able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students, giving them the support and tools necessary to thrive. Mga exists in the heart of the quaint community of bricelyn, minnesota. Our location provides the perfect balance of safe and comfortable surroundings with active, involved community living.

Mga cultivates a nurturing community by providing appropriate structure and lots of activity, encouraging connection with staff and other students, and balancing therapy, school, and fun.
