Archway Academy serves 8th graders and high school students in recovery from substance use disorders. To be eligible, students must demonstrate a commitment to sobriety and a willingness to participate in our recovery and academic programs. Enrollment is open to students in grades 8–12, and we welcome applicants from public, private, charter, and homeschool backgrounds.

Yes. Please visit our Admissions page to complete our detailed enrollment and student history forms, or contact us directly if you'd like to discuss your student's situation in more detail.

We serve students in grades 8 through 12 and typically have an age limit of 20. However, we're open to considering special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

We consider students who have been expelled from other high schools on a case-by-case basis. If the expulsion was related to substance use, they are especially welcome to apply to Archway Academy.

The admissions process begins with an initial inquiry through our website or a phone call. Prospective students and families are then invited to an intake interview with our Recovery and Academic teams to assess eligibility and ensure our program aligns with the student's recovery needs. Following the interview, we guide families through enrollment steps including documentation, academic records, and financial aid applications if needed.

Students must provide the following:

• Recent academic records (transcripts, report cards)
• Immunization records
• Documentation of IEPs or 504 plans (if applicable)
• Recovery history or treatment information
• Valid ID and proof of residency

Our admissions team assists families in gathering any missing records.

The referral process consists of five steps and must be followed in order to enroll a student at Archway Academy. Please see our Admissions page for full details, or contact our admissions team directly.

We offer a rolling admissions policy, which allows a student to be admitted at any time during the semester when feasible.

Students at Archway Academy receive their diploma from Southwest Schools, our academic partner. While Archway provides the recovery programming and campus environment, Southwest Schools delivers the accredited curriculum that leads to graduation.

We do not offer transportation directly. However, students may drive or access public transportation to reach campus. We currently have students commuting from The Woodlands, Kingwood, Cypress, Sugar Land, and League City via carpool and Metro Park & Ride.

There are dozens of Metro drop-off points within a block or two of our campus, and the MetroRail disembarks directly across the street. Our admissions specialist will help your family explore options — including existing carpool networks — before and after enrollment.

Tuition at Archway Academy is $1,250 per month, which includes both academic instruction and full recovery support services. This covers small class sizes, licensed counseling, daily recovery programming, and all academic materials.
