Clearfork Academy

We believe in our teenagers in search of help. We know, too, that the battle to overcome dependency has the highest probability for success in a structured, therapeutic environment.

Critical to that structured environment is the academic component of the adolescent’s life. Our partnership with University of Texas Charter School allows us to complete long-term treatment with no educational compromises and ensuring that our students are well prepared academically when they graduate from our program.

Classes are offered right on campus through a University of Texas Charter School satellite campus and courses are facilitated by teachers who guide students through state-accredited curricula. Working closely with teachers is a dedicated group of Clearfork Academy staff members who help oversee and guide each young man on this uniquely personalized, educational journey.
