YCCS serves at-risk students and high school dropouts who are ages 16-21 and who have been under-served and /or disconnected from traditional education.

The student’s last regular placement must have been between sixth grade and the senior year of high school, and the student must be under the age of 21 at the time of enrollment.

YCCS offers diversified portfolio of alternative education “choice” campuses for off-track students and out-of-school youth that provide multiple pathways to graduation.

YCCS takes an ecological approach to addressing the unique challenges of our students, by providing  comprehensive programs that seeks to break the cycle of underachievement of at-risk and high-risk students.  Our programs and strategies address not only student barriers, but also elements in the learning environment and the school organizational structure in which instruction is delivered.

YCCS implements research-based strategies, models, and interventions specifically designed to reconnect students and accelerate their progress.
