YBGR Students at Yellowstone Academy Take the ACT

Earlier this week, students at Yellowstone Academy participated in the ACT exam—a crucial academic milestone and a step forward on the path to college and future opportunities.

ACT Prepares Youth for What’s Next

The ACT, administered on the Ranch campus in Billings, helps students explore post-secondary options and set goals for what comes next. For the kids we serve, it’s more than just a test. It’s a chance to think beyond today—to imagine possibilities and take tangible steps toward them.

Education is provided through Yellowstone Academy, working hand-in-hand with the therapeutic support students receive through YBGR. This experience highlights the strength of that partnership—helping kids stabilize, heal, and re-engage with learning in a way that prepares them for life, not just school.

A Shared Commitment

Moments like this bring our mission to life: Caring people, preparing youth for life. They also align with Yellowstone Academy’s mission: To provide excellence in education through trusting, positive, and supportive relationships.

We’re proud of our kids for showing up, setting goals, and stepping into their future with purpose.
