Positive Peer Culture  "Top Flight Academy is unique ... in that it utilizes PPC (Positive Peer Culture)... PPC teaches internal self-control ... teaches youth to regulate by accessing their personal internal moral code of conduct. In real life PPC is the only one of these models that can consistently help to create responsible and effective adults."
-John Bagley, L.C.S.W.
Clinical Social Worker "The biggest difference between PPC (Positive Peer Culture) and Behavior Mod came simple to me; that just sums everything up. Behavior Mod gets you to do the right thing by making you afraid of the consequence, but PPC allows you to figure out on your own to make the right decisions because it is the right thing to do." - J.D. (former PPC and behavior modification student)
Top Flight Academy uses Positive Peer Culture to empower students to create personal positive change. We focus on internal change, not just outside behavior. There are two key goals for students and staff in Positive Peer Culture: First, help the student to identify his or her personal values and beliefs; second, teach students behaviors that are congruent with those values and beliefs.
Positive Peer Culture focuses on three levels of responsibility that influence individual growth:
The highest level of growth is self-control. While in the Program, your child will be taught how to recognize, resolve, and prevent problems on his own. This is called self-responsibility. If a student is able to identify and apply solutions for a problem there is no need to go any further in the process. If, however, the student is not able to cope with the problem on the self-level we move to the group level of responsibility. The group assists the student in identifying solutions for the problem with which he or she is faced with. The process will end at this point if the student accepts one or more of the group's solutions. In cases where a student is unable or unwilling to exercise self-responsibility and group efforts are ineffective, staff will gently assist the student in gaining control. This is called authority responsibility. An authority-level intervention is utilized as a last resort and responsibility is returned to the individual as soon as possible.
