Recovery High School That Meets You Where You Are
For young men in recovery, high school can feel like an obstacle. At Pivot, we believe it should be part of the solution. Our high school program is designed for residents who need to finish their diploma in a space that understands what they’re going through. No shame, no pressure, just a calm, supportive setting where you can focus on learning and keep moving forward in your recovery.
What Makes This High School Different
We’ve created a small, quiet academic environment just for students in our transitional living program. That means:
- No big crowds
- No distractions or triggers
- No getting left behind
Instead, you get one-on-one support, a clear structure, and the chance to actually enjoy learning again. Most students finish in under six months—and from there, many go on to college or take their next steps with confidence.
School Schedule & Structure
Classes are held Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. This leaves time in the afternoons for job training, therapy, group outings, and all the other elements that make our recovery program complete.
You’ll work at your own pace using a blend of independent study curriculum and real-time instruction. Everything is built to help you succeed without overwhelming you.
Meet the Academic Director: Denise King
Denise has been running this program since 2012, and it shows. With a background in secondary education and over a decade of experience working with students who learn differently, she’s the kind of teacher who sees the best in people—and knows how to help them reach it.
Whether you’ve struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, or just haven’t had the support you needed, Denise brings patience, skill, and genuine care to the classroom.
