About Us

Independence Academy

At Independence Academy our mission is to engage students in a process of growth and development so that they can improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.

We provide cutting-edge programming that is responsive to the emerging needs of adolescents in the areas of substance use, social/emotional, and mental health needs. Independence Academy provides a tiered model of programming for adolescents who are identified as “high risk”.

We believe in empowering students to take responsibility for their own growth and development and therefore, all the programs at Independence Academy are voluntary and students must demonstrate a willingness and ability to engage in the work that we are doing.

Our Programs & Services

Upper Course - 10 Days - Tier 1

This school-based intervention program is run by our team of experts and is the entry point for all students interested in what Independence Academy has to offer. The Upper Course is grounded in the basic belief that adolescents who are engaging in high-risk or problematic substance use benefit from and deserve an opportunity to learn and develop an understanding of themselves. The Upper Course runs Monday through Friday from 8:45 AM – 12:30 PM.

45-Day Program - Tier 2

Students who complete the Upper Course and want to continue with a deeper dive into their own healthy growth and development can enroll in our 45-Day Program. Our goal is to complete an assessment with each student in 13 domains and to develop an individualized action plan to help transform mindset, promote health and wellness, and cultivate personal growth and development. The 45-Day program runs Monday-Friday from 9:00AM – 3:35PM (Wednesdays are 12:15 PM dismissal).

Recovery High School - Tier 3

Students who complete the 45-Day program and want to continue to engage in a process of change to improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and realize their true potential, can enroll at the recovery school for as long as it is necessary and appropriate. Students must meet eligibility requirements including a commitment to reducing/addressing their use of substances.

Consultation

When a parent or caregiver has a concern about their child, Independence Academy staff will consult with the parent/caregiver and provide three, one-hour sessions with the teen and an additional one-hour follow up session with the parent or caregiver.
