About The Bridge Way School
The Bridge Way School is Philadelphia's first and only recovery high school. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, it serves students in grades 9–12 who are on a journey of recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. As a member of the Association of Recovery Schools, the institution combines a challenging academic curriculum with essential support services to help students succeed in both their education and recovery, at no cost.
The school offers a comprehensive academic program that emphasizes student-centered and inquiry-based learning. In addition to academics, The Bridge Way School provides daily group meetings led by peer specialists or licensed clinical staff, focusing on topics pertinent to recovery, such as triggers and strategies for maintaining sobriety. The school also offers guidance for college placement and career planning, ensuring students are prepared for post-secondary success.
Catering to high school students committed to their recovery journey, The Bridge Way School requires students to be actively working a recovery program and remain abstinent to be considered for enrollment. The school maintains a low teacher-student ratio, serving 20–30 students per year, to provide individualized attention and support. With rolling admissions, students can enroll at any time during the academic year, allowing for flexibility in meeting their unique recovery and educational needs.
