Boarding school or other school for teens w/behavioral and/or mental problems?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a school for a 17yo child with:
-behavioral problems,
-the hyperactive and inattentive variety of ADHD,
-possibly very mild Asperger's, and
-a recent diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder?

He has been attending private schools for kids with learning disabilities, yet has only just completed 10th grade at 17. He is a sweet kid with a great investigative and curious mind, but his parents are at the point where they just don't know what to do with him anymore since he is constantly getting sent to the principle's office or expelled. They are considering The Discovery School of Virginia. Any recommendations of residential schools a little closer to Fairfax or schools for kids with special needs? Any experiences with the Discover School?

Therapeutic boarding schools often employ behavioral therapists around the clock, to help kids learn to deal with issues right away, as problems come up. Kids are able to manage stress by being held immediately accountable to the professionals who are trained and experienced in helping with even the toughest problems. These programs often utilize a combination of group counseling, individual counseling and behavioral therapy to create a healing environment that prepares teens for the world of employment and adult relationships.
