Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
HOPE ACADEMY IS A TUITION-FREE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL FOR INDIANA STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12. AS THE ONLY RECOVERY HIGH SCHOOL IN INDIANA AND ONE OF JUST [43] NATIONWIDE HOPE ACADEMY IS A WELCOMING AND SUPPORTIVE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT COMMITTED TO SOBRIETY, ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND PERSONAL GROWTH. HOPE ACADEMY IS A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF RECOVERY SCHOOLS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF HOPE ACADEMY IS TO HELP ADOLESCENTS STRUGGLING WITH THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION EARN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. HOPE ACADEMY IS OPEN TO ALL INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
EXPERIENCE TELLS US THAT LONG-TERM SUCCESS FOR ADOLESCENTS IN RECOVERY IS GROUNDED IN A GOOD EDUCATION AND ONGOING SUPPORT. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT STUDENTS, WHO HAVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS AND ARE NOT IN RECOVERY WILL LIKELY DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, FACE A LIFE OF INCARCERATIONS OR THEY WILL DIE FROM THE DISEASE (INDIANA PREVENTION RESEARCH CENTER, 2004).
HOPE ACADEMY PROVIDES A RECOVERY AND WELLNESS CURRICULUM, ALLOWING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PERSONAL GROWTH IN THEIR RECOVERY FROM DRUG AND/OR ALCOHOL ADDICTION. EACH STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO TAKE A RECOVERY-FOCUSED BASIC SKILLS COURSE. STUDENTS LEARN BASIC SKILLS, INCLUDING BALANCING A CHECK BOOK, HOW TO INTERVIEW AND WRITE A RESUME AND TIME MANAGEMENT, TO PREPARE THEM FOR LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. MOST IMPORTANTLY, STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIFE CLEAN AND SOBER. HOPE ACADEMY HAS A RECOVERY COACH AND PEER SPECIALISTS PROVIDING THE STUDENTS SUPPORT AND TOOLS FOR RECOVERY. HOPE ACADEMY USES THE 90-IN-90 WORKBOOK, A TOOL FOR RECOVERY WELLNESS, AS A WAY FOR STUDENTS TO JOURNAL ON THEIR RECOVERY PROCESS. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT AND 12-STEP MEETINGS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.
THE HOURS OF LATE AFTERNOON FROM 3:00 P.M. TO 7:00 P.M. ARE AMONG THE MOST DANGEROUS FOR TEENS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AS THIS IS A TIME WHEN MANY TEENS ARE HOME ALONE AND PRONE TO USE SUBSTANCES. TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM, HOPE ACADEMY HAS IMPLEMENTED AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM CALLED GUIDING PATHS TO SUCCESS (GPS). THIS PROGRAM OFFERS A SAFE AND SOBER PLACE TO HANG OUT AFTER SCHOOL, SOCIALIZE WITH PEERS, ENJOY SNACKS, ATTEND 12 STEP MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES WITH THE PURPOSE OF LEARNING HOW TO ENJOY A SOBER LIFESTYLE.
