Why Choose Hope
In the United States, 80% of students relapse from recovery upon returning to their high school after having primary treatment for substance use disorders. Studies support the effectiveness of recovery high schools and as the only recovery high school in Indiana, Hope Academy provides a supportive community for students to maintain their sobriety and receive a Core 40 diploma.
Hope Academy is one of only seven recovery high schools in the United States accredited by the Association of Recovery High Schools. Additionally, Hope Academy has partnered with the Simon Youth Foundation and IPS to bridge a gap to serve more students in the Indianapolis area. Students who receive ongoing support for substance use issues have higher graduation rates, lower absentee rates and are more likely to abstain from using substances.
Parents and loved ones are part of the Hope Academy experience for all our students. They will play an integral role in their student’s journey of recovery and will receive the same guidance, support and encouragement from our staff, while connecting with other parents and our community.
