Where we are going

 

 

YESPhilly has an established program model that is highly effective at engaging and educating Philadelphia 

youth after they drop out of school.      We are excited to report that the School District of Philadelphia has selected YESPhilly to operate an accelerated high school program!  This means that we will be enrolling 100 students to start school in September 2013 at the YESPhilly School.  This school will combine many of elements of the YESPhilly model with courses for high school credit and a diploma.  The 

YESPhilly School will feature:

  • High academic achievement and college-going culture for all students
  • Media arts and technology skills infused throughout curriculum
  • Instruction and support that meet students where they are, continually challenging them to greater proficiency
  • A culture of success that recognizes accomplishment.

 

We will also continue to expand and improve our GED to College program, which develops students’ literacy, mathematics and technology skills, and supports them throughout the process of attaining GED credentials and transitioning into credit-bearing post-secondary education or into the workforce.
