The Academy Schools operates as a network of education programs in Western Pennsylvania that are managed by leaders in juvenile justice. Based in Pittsburgh, the organization runs both community-based and residential settings, offering services to local students as well as those from out of state. Its three core offerings include The Summit Academy, an all-mmale residential program for grades 9–12 that combines traditional schooling with inpatient drug and alcohol treatment, mental health services, trades training, and activities; New Outlook Academy, an all-female residential program for grades 7–12 providing similar educational, treatment, and extracurricular supports; and New Academy Charter School, a public charter serving at-risk and injured learners in grades 8–12 residing in Allegheny County. The structure reflects an education model that integrates academic instruction with rehabilitation and supportive services, aimed at students requiring both schooling and therapeutic interventions. The organization employs a multidisciplinary approach to address the needs of its student population within both residential and charter school contexts.
