Theraputic boarding school in Marion expands programming

At the end of a dirt road on a remote hillside in Marion sits the Montana Academy, a therapeutic boarding school for troubled youth. On a blistering July afternoon, students rotate from one cabin to another, meandering through neatly landscaped grounds with an idyllic water feature at the center. The only other apparent activity is a pair of horses idly grazing in a southern field. Once the change in periods is over, the academy, at least on the outside, descends back into solitude.
