The KEYS Academy is a recovery high school, the mission of which is to provide an academically, innovative, and supportive environment which will serve to eliminate the achievement gap for adolescents who have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder and are seeking a sober, healthy lifestyle. Recovery high schools are defined under State law as alternative education programs that serve students diagnosed with substance use disorder or dependency. Under the law, recovery high schools provide a comprehensive four-year high school education in an alternative public school setting and a structured plan of recovery that is aligned with the national framework of evidence-based practices for recovery high schools.
