Enrollment FAQs

Our Enrollment FAQs page provides answers to the most common questions about joining Archway Academy. Whether you’re curious about our admissions process, financial aid, program structure, or what makes our recovery-focused environment unique, this resource is designed to help you navigate the steps to becoming a part of our community.

A: Archway Academy offers two unique programs on campus. The Passageway program is for students new to our community who have fewer than 60 days of sobriety and/or who are coming to us from a residential treatment setting. Passageway students receive additional designated recovery support, more frequent drug testing, and are under more stringent observation.

The traditional Archway program is for students with more than 60 days of sobriety and a full referral from an Alternative Peer Group (APG). Archway students are allowed more freedom and privileges due to their sustained recovery. For detailed admissions criteria, please click here.

A: Yes. Please visit our Enroll Your Child page to complete our detailed enrollment and student history forms, or contact us if you’d like to discuss more in-depth.

A: We’re proud to offer a “rolling admissions” policy, which allows for a student to be admitted at any time during the semester when feasible. For students who are behind, Archway’s curriculum provides flexibility for self-paced learning. Motivated students can catch up and gain the credits they need to get back on track.

A: The referral process consists of five steps and must be followed in order to enroll a student in Archway Academy. Please see our Referral Process page for more details.

A: Tuition and fees are listed here. If cost is an issue for you, please don’t let that stop you from considering us. Contact us to discuss options.

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

A: We do not offer transportation. However, students may drive or access public transportation to get to Archway. We currently have a number of students commuting to Archway by way of carpool or Metro Park & Ride. These students are coming from neighborhoods such as The Woodlands, Kingwood, Cypress, Sugar Land, and League City, to name a few. There are dozens of Metro drop-off points within a block or two of our campus, and the MetroRail disembarks directly across the street from our campus. Our admissions specialist will help your family understand the existing methods of transportation as well as help you research additional options if need be. This can happen prior to enrollment. 

A: Please see our Enrollment Page for more information.

A: We typically have an age limit of 20, but we will consider older students on a case-by-case basis.

A: Yes. Our recovery coaches and staff bring diverse degrees and backgrounds in clinical, therapeutic, and peer support care.
