Allywood Academy, formerly the Family Foundation School, was a private, co-educational, college preparatory, therapeutic boarding school located in Hancock, New York.〔New York State Department of Education, Administrators Listing for Public and Non-Public Schools and School Districts ()〕 The school, founded in 1984, drastically downsized in August 2014. It closed in late 2014. ==History== The school was founded in the 1980s by Tony and Betty Argiros, who were recovering alcoholics following a twelve-step program. As a part of their own final step in the program, they took into their home young people who were recovering from substance abuse. They became foster parents to many of these adolescents and provided some with homeschooling education. After the number of foster children began to exceed the allowable limit for New York State, they sought and obtained legal status for their home as a licensed school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Profile of The Family Foundation School )〕 Over time, the school grew beyond the Argiros home into a campus that includes a main school building, boys' and girls' dormitories, a chapel, food service, laundry services, art and athletic facilities. In 2000, the Argiros children assumed control over the day-to-day operations of the school. In October 2013, the Family Foundation School changed its name to "Allynwood Academy", which the school stated was due to a change in program structure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Family Foundation School Introduces Allynwood Academy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allynwood Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
