Heartland High School

Heartland High School, situated in Columbus, Ohio, stands as the state’s sole private, non-profit recovery high school aimed at assisting young individuals recovering from substance use issues. The institution provides a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where students can work towards earning a state-recognized diploma while prioritizing their recovery process. The annual tuition fee is set at $20,000, with options for EdChoice scholarships available. The Heartland Alternative Peer Group (APG) Program actively involves students and their families through various after-school initiatives, recovery sessions, fitness activities, and summer events, promoting community and parental engagement with the support of a family coach. Recovery coaches facilitate both individual and group meetings, whereas the Pathway Program is designed to help students in the early stages of recovery develop sobriety and relapse prevention strategies prior to their complete enrollment. Heartland is committed to guaranteeing all students have equal opportunities for education through a blended learning approach alongside social-emotional learning. Customized academic plans and electives such as art, music, and yoga encourage creative expression and contribute to sustained sobriety.

The Rehabilitation Center focuses on addressing substance use disorders, providing assistance in achieving stability, developing strategies to prevent relapse, and connecting individuals with empathetic support systems.

At Heartland High School, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive educational environment for adolescents in recovery from substance use disorders. We understand that financial considerations can be a significant aspect of choosing the right educational path for your child. Our annual tuition is $20,000, and we are committed to making our program accessible to as many students as possible. To support this goal, we offer EdChoice scholarships, which can significantly reduce the cost of tuition for eligible families. We encourage interested families to explore scholarship opportunities and financial assistance options available to them. Additionally, we are in the process of establishing relationships with various insurance providers to facilitate coverage for both tuition and our comprehensive recovery programs. We recommend that families check with their insurance providers to determine any available benefits that may assist with the cost of education and recovery support services. At Heartland High School, we believe that every student deserves access to education and recovery support. Our financial aid team is available to help guide families through the payment options and provide information on securing scholarships and insurance coverage. We are here to help you navigate this process and ensure that your child can focus on their recovery and academic success.
