Admissions

Archway Academy operates two programs: the traditional Archway program and the Passageway program, both at our Palmer location. Before the faculty and staff at Archway can help a student succeed, he or she has to show a willingness to uphold his or her end of the bargain. For more information, please refer to our 2021-2022 Parent-Student Handbook.

Admissions

Our school is open to students committed to the journey of recovery. The Passageway program is open to students with at least one day sober, whereas the traditional Archway program is for students with more sustained recovery. Both sets of students come to the same place and progress through a similar school day, but Passageway students receive additional designated recovery support and are under more stringent observation.

If you meet the criteria for one of the programs, please schedule a tour.  Having as much of the application completed as possible, along with supporting documentation, will greatly speed up the admissions process.
