Bay Point Schools, Inc. is an alternative boarding school that provides educational/vocational and therapeutic services to moderate-risk adolescent boys. It was founded in 1995, as ICARE Bay Point Schools, Inc., on a former missile base that once housed volunteers and materials for the rehabilitation of the homes destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. With the rehabilitation of family homes completed Dr. Cole, the founder, contracted with the Department of Juvenile Justice, to establish ICARE as a school to rehabilitate the lives of 36 troubled boys. In 1995, Bay Point Schools, Inc. was established as a pilot boarding school for 13 to 18 year old, juvenile delinquents, based on a theory that these boys are not mentally ill, sick, or born bad. In place of a treatment model, education, behavior modification and moral development are emphasized in a new innovative boarding school approach based on the sociological model. Five years later, Bay Points budget has grown from $986,000 to $5.2 million and from 36 to 175 troubled youths. In 1998, it was rated, by the Juvenile Justice Accountability Board, as the best commitment program of its kind in the state of Florida.
