Abstract
The central idea of this article is to show how The Academy, a new educational system created exclusively for young people in U.S. foster care, a system designed for under age youth’s temporary home education and protection, helps in dealing with personal and educational problems. It centers specifically on the case of young Mexican-American or Mexican-origin youth in foster care nationwide. We use the case of the Academy to study the viability of this kind of educational institutionAuthors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
