Where education
meets healing.
Archway Academy opened its doors in 2004 to offer students and worried families navigating teenage substance use disorder, mental health challenges, or both a place where getting help and staying in school are never in conflict.
Today we are the largest recovery high school in the country and a national model for what happens when education and clinical support are built to work together — not compete.

Our Approach
Built around
your teen's whole life.
At Archway, recovery and academics aren't separate tracks. They're woven together every single day — by specialists who know exactly what your teen needs.
Individualized Recovery Support
Every student works with licensed counselors and recovery coaches who meet them where they are — addressing mental health, substance use, and the unique stages of each teen's personal recovery process.
Learn more →Accredited Education, No Compromise
Archway partners with Southwest Public Schools to provide a fully accredited curriculum. Small class sizes, qualified teachers, and a recovery-supportive environment mean your teen earns real credits toward graduation every day.
Learn more →Continuum of Care
Archway works closely with your teen's therapists, counselors, treatment providers, and family to keep every support system aligned. We don't work in silos — we work as one coordinated team around your teen.

Twenty years of results.
Recovery and education aren't competing priorities — at Archway, they make each other possible. The numbers show it.

From the families
and students we serve.
Archway saved my life and I owe everything to it. It gave me everything I needed to become successful in hard times and showed me tools that I use today. I am forever grateful for the opportunity that Archway gave me because it gave me a real shot at a bright future.
Through my daughter's attendance at Archway, I was able to see firsthand that the work Archway does, coupled with the APG, literally saves lives. Not only do they provide an educational environment suited for the children there, but they also provide an environment that is emotionally supportive in the way these kids need.
It works because when you enter Archway you feel hope — you feel that everything is going to be okay. I kept coming back to those words in my research, and today I finally understood why. Hope is the foundation of everything they build here.
