Overview
Mission
Educating the mind, body, and soul of our youth.
Pioneer Youth Ranch (PYR) is an alternative boarding school in South Florida serving students aged 14 to 17. The program provides a holistic, Montessori-style learning environment where students rotate through daily tasks including hands-on work with cattle, hogs, chickens, horses, and greenhouse operations, as well as cooking, cleaning, and finance. First-year students live on campus, with the option to attend as day students in subsequent years. PYR has adopted a racially nondiscriminatory policy and is raising capital for land and building construction including an arena, dorms, and farm structures.

The verdict
