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.
Passageway is for students at the beginning of their recovery journey who need more structure, supervision, drug testing, and recovery support. Passageway students remain on campus for lunch and eat with the recovery coaches and other Passageway students. During lunch, they cover a variety of recovery topics and receive extra support with challenges unique to early recovery. The recovery team will help Passageway students set and monitor weekly recovery goals. Sobriety time and progress with recovery goals are the two main criteria to “graduate” from the Passageway program.
Archway is for students with more sustained/consistent recovery who have earned the privilege of more freedom, flexibility and off-campus lunch. Archway students must have more than 60 days sober, be actively working with a sponsor, be settled in their counseling/APG group, be in compliance with medication recommendations (if applicable), and show forward progress with other mental health goals.
