THE YESPHILLY SUCCESS FRAMEWORK
YESPhilly provides a fully-accredited, non-traditional diploma pathway designed specifically for Philadelphia’s resilient young adults. Unlike traditional settings, our model integrates trauma-informed support with project-based learning to move participants toward economic mobility. By utilizing a high-velocity, term-based schedule, we allow participants to recover credits and master core content at their own pace. Our program doesn't just meet School District standards; it exceeds them by infusing every subject with advanced media arts and technology training, ensuring our graduates are not just diploma-holders, but 21st-century creators.
Accelerated Credentialing Pathway
Instead of "earning credits," we provide a high-velocity pathway for young adults to achieve their high school diploma in two years or less. Our curriculum is project-based, connecting academic mastery to real-world application.
Integrated Wraparound Services
We go beyond the classroom by infusing industry-standard media arts and technology into every level of our program. Participants don't just study; they build portfolios in our media labs, preparing for the 21st-century creative economy.
Technical & Creative Workforce Development
Traditional schools often lack the resources to address the external barriers our youth face. YESPhilly provides independently-funded intensive case management, trauma-informed counseling, and career transition coaching to ensure life-long stability.
