History

Monarch School, INC was incorporated in Idaho by founder Patrick McKenna in September 2000. According to The Mission Statement, "The Monarch School exists to provide young adults with the foundation of knowledge and self-awareness to achieve their dreams as a healthy human being."

As the school did not have an official campus when it opened, McKenna ran the school out of his North Idaho home. In late 2001, students moved from the Mckenna residence onto the Monarch campus in Heron, Montana, a setting described as "160 acres of pure heaven."

Admissions

Monarch School offered year-round enrollment, and cost of tuition was a "flat monthly tuition rate of $4000." Parents experiencing difficulty in bringing their child to "pure heaven" to enroll were advised by the school to use an escort service recommended by an educational consultant or the admissions director.

Students

Typical students were described by Monarch as; "...male or female, 14-17 years old, bright, creative, and until recently, seemed to have a bright future." Additionally, it was noted by Monarch that typical students "...may have experienced...:
