I recently watched "The Program" on Netflix, about one of these alleged leadership academies that is really an abusive reform school. Almost all of them are run by an organization called WWASPS, and all of them are eventually shut down for abuse, neglect, and cruelty.

I imagine it is tough for them to open new locations in US States due to past shutdowns, crimes, and lawsuits.

A quick google search shows that this "Atlantis Leadership Academy" is also run by WWASPS.
