King George School located near Sutton in Vermont was modeled after CEDU, which again was based on Synanon which was a religious community which closed after an criminal investigation.
It was opened in 1998 and closed in 2011.
The CEDU model used sleep deprivation in marathon seminars which resulted in psycodrama.
Several teenagers who were held there tried to escape and the local police was involved.
It could not have been fun to be there as what they called students.
