Program
New students typically have struggled with homework, depression, anger management, or various addictions. Some students are from outside the United States. The student population in the past has often ranged from about 15 to 200 students. Hidden Lake Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), and the Georgia Accreditation Commission (GAC).
The school boasts a 100% college acceptance rate for those who apply. The staff recommend that most of the students attend small colleges or boarding schools, although a few attend larger universities or go back to ordinary high schools against the school's recommendations.
Books are also screened, students are not allowed to possess any literature which contains sex or drug references/pictures. Magazines, newspapers, and journals are also screened, and any inappropriate articles are cut out to allow the student to have reading material without negative influences. Incoming and outgoing mail is no longer screened by staff; but some letters are not permitted if they are from friends. They do not always let students know when they receive them.

“Religious fervor makes the devil a very real personage, and anything awe-inspiring or not easily understood is usually connected with him. Perhaps this explains why, not only in the Ozarks but all over the State, his name crops up so frequently.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
