Education Program

Vivo Colorado offers a hands-on, project based curriculum that emphasizes individual interests and acquisition of real-world skills. Graduates earn a Colorado diploma that is college- and career-ready. Credit recovery available; enrollment year-round.

Recovery Program

Vivo students live a substance-free lifestyle within the context of a drug-free school environment and drug-free peer community. Vivo students learn to cope with life (School! Relationships! Anxiety!) without the need for substances. The recovery program is run by youth, for youth. Recovery staff develop a safe culture of belonging, authenticity, and support. We provide strong case management and assist students who are early in recovery as well as those who are in long-term recovery.
