Behind the Scenes at Archway Academy: Teaching Teens in Recovery

I've been at places in my life where I have considered why we do this at all, because I've been to too many funerals, and then sasha and others remind me of the hundreds of kids that didn't go down that road, and that's affirming for what we do too.
Imagine stepping into a high school where every student is on a journey of recovery. In this episode of 'A Way Through', we get an inside look at Archway Academy, the largest recovery high school in the United States. The spotlight is on Sonny Sanborn, a seasoned Social Studies and Lead Teacher who has been part of the Archway family for over thirteen years.
Sonny shares his personal story of leaving traditional education to embrace a teaching style that supports teens battling Substance Use Disorder. He opens up about the joys and hurdles faced in this unique environment, highlighting how compassion, respect, and rigorous academic support are woven into the fabric of the school. The conversation delves into the importance of open communication and owning one's part in the recovery process.
Sonny also shares heartwarming success stories that showcase the transformative impact of Archway Academy on its students. If you're curious about how education can be a powerful tool in recovery or simply want to hear inspiring stories of resilience and healing, this episode is a must-listen.
