About Emerald:

Emerald School of Excellence is Charlotte, North Carolina’s first and only recovery high school, providing a safe, supportive, and accredited academic environment for students overcoming substance use and mental health challenges.

As a private, 501(c)(3) school, Emerald ensures that no student is turned away due to financial need. Tuition covers less than a third of Emerald’s annual operating budget—donations, grants, and community support make the difference.

Every student deserves a chance to learn in a space where recovery and education can thrive together. On this #GivingTuesday, your gift helps Emerald provide tuition assistance, counseling, recovery coaching, and small class sizes that meet each student’s unique needs. Together, we can ensure that no family has to choose between their teen’s recovery and education.
