Program: The PAYH program is designed to develop each young man spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially, in keeping with the Biblical model of Luke 2:52, "And He grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."
Spiritually: Biblical truths are not only verbally shared but they are also exemplified by application to circumstances and challenges of everyday life. Scriptures are applied to help solve problems that arise.
Mentally: The PAYH on-campus school offers formal classes and individual tutoring, vocational training, field trips, multimedia presentations, and guest speakers. Students learn how to operate personal computers, prepare resumes, fill out job applications, and interview for jobs, which prepares them for the contemporary business world. The PAYH equips its students to meet the demands of the world by teaching them how to develop a budget, open and manage checking and savings accounts, purchase a car and house, complete an income tax form, and buy insurance. Our HORIZONS and Outdoor Education Program (OEP), seeks to broaden their experiences and give them a picture of a family through trips and adventures to the beaches of the Southeast, snow skiing, white-water rafting, and rappelling. These outings enable them to gain confidence and make special memories, all while challenging them to see new sights and achieve new heights mentally.
Physically: The exercise program, combined with proper nutrition, keeps the young men physically fit and enhances their personal appearance and self-confidence. Additionally, the obligation for carrying out work assignments instills in them a sense of responsibility and the personal satisfaction of a job well done. Paul Anderson always believed that if a boy knew how to work well, he'd be a success in life.
Socially: Christian counselors are available to assist PAYH family members in order that they may mature emotionally and better understand themselves and others. Instruction is given in etiquette, as well as respect for other people's rights and property. Social emphasis is placed on alcohol and drug awareness, moral issues, and life-coping skills.
