TRANSFER HIGH SCHOOLS Transfer Schools are small, academically rigorous, full-time high schools designed to re-engage students who are behind in high school or have dropped out. Students between the ages of 15 to 21 who have completed at least one year of high school, are eligible for Transfer Schools. Students attend full time during the day to earn a high school diploma. The number of credits required for entry varies by Transfer School, who determine admission criteria individually.

The essential elements of Transfer Schools include:  a personalized learning environment  rigorous academic standards  student-centered pedagogy  support to meet instructional and developmental goals  focus on connections to college  students graduate with a traditional high school diploma

YOUNG ADULT BOROUGH CENTERS (YABCS) Young Adult Borough Centers are evening academic programs designed to meet the needs of high school students who might be considering dropping out because they are behind or because they have adult responsibilities that make attending school in the daytime difficult. Students between the ages of 17.5 and 21, who are in their fifth year of high school and have earned at least 17 credits, are eligible to attend a YABC. Students attend part time and in the evening to earn a high school diploma. Students graduate with a diploma from their home school after they have earned all of their credits and passed all of the required exams while attending the YABC. Students who are registered in a YABC program remain assigned, for all accountability measures, to their sending school. Attendance is strictly monitored and documented by the YABC program.

To be eligible, students should:  Be enrolled in a New York City high school.  Be at least in his or her fifth year of high school  Have earned at least 17 credits toward high school graduation  Have completed the school year in which he or she turns 17

ACCELERATED ACHIEVEMENT SCHOOLS Accelerated Achievement Schools are small, academically rigorous, full-time high schools designed to meet the needs of first-time ninth graders who are entering high school over-age.

For more information on the high school admissions process, please visit: http://schools.nyc.gov/ChoicesEnrollment/High/Admissions.

iii CHOOSING THE RIGHT OPTION LEARNING TO WORK (LTW) Learning to Work is designed to enhance the academic component of select alternative high schools and YABCs. Department of Education (DOE) staff and a partnering community-based organization (CBO) operate them jointly, with staff located at the program site.

The goal of LTW is to help students overcome obstacles that have impeded their progress toward a high school diploma and to lead them toward rewarding employment and educational experiences after graduation.

Services are available on-site to all enrolled students and include: career exploration/development, individual and group counseling, academic support, subsidized internship placement, and college preparation and counseling.

A key aspect of LTW is the Primary Person Model, whereby each student is matched with an advisor who provides support in setting goals, assessing progress, and accessing special services. Students begin working with an advisor immediately upon entering the program and continue through all program phases and after graduation.

Principles of youth development philosophy inform all aspects of the LTW model. Youth development is an approach that emphasizes the strengths of young people instead of a simple disciplinary response to them. This perspective emphasizes providing young people with opportunities and support to enable them to grow, develop their skills, and become healthy, responsible, and caring youths and adults.

PATHWAYS TO GRADUATION (P2G) Pathways to Graduation (P2G) is a District 79 program that prepares students, ages 18-21, to take the TASCTM exam (formerly known as the GED® test) and earn a high school equivalency diploma.

HOW TO READ THE SCHOOL AND PROGRAM PAGES Expected Grade Configuration Transfer schools and YABC programs do not have a grade configuration. Students’ credits vary so students take the courses they need.

3 Performance The New York City Department of Education collects information about school practices and student outcomes, which can help identify each school’s strengths and areas for improvement. The Directory contains some of this information, which is listed on the Transfer School and YABC profiles and explained in detail below. For more information about school performance information, visit: www.nyc.gov/schools/accountability.

School Quality Snapshot Each Transfer School and YABC profile links to a School Quality Snapshot, which is a summary report of performance information designed primarily for families and community members.

Transfer School profiles will contain ratings from the Quality Review, which is an evaluation by an experienced educator based on a formal school visit. The educator observes classrooms and engages in conversations with parents, students, teachers and school leaders to assess schoolwide practices. Schools receive ratings of Well Developed, Proficient, Developing, or Underdeveloped on the following indicators:

Curriculum – How interesting and challenging is the curriculum? Instruction – How effective is the teaching and learning? Assessing Student Learning – How well does the school assess what students are learning? High Expectations – How clearly are high expectations communicated to students and staff? Teacher Collaboration – How well do teachers work with each other?

% of students over-age/under-credited A student is considered over-age/under-credited based on the following criteria (where age is as of December 31 of the entry school year, and the credits and Regents are before the start of the entry school year):

Age Criteria 16 Under 11 credits; or under 22 credits and zero Regents passed 17 Under 22 credits; or under 33 credits and zero Regents passed 18 Under 33 credits and four or fewer Regents passed 19 or older Under 33 credits; or under 44 credits and four or fewer Regents passed; or two or fewer Regents passed

Admission Information 5 Here you can learn about the various processes used to consider applicants for admission. Each Transfer School determines admissions criteria individually.

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES Students with disabilities may apply to any high school, program, or high school equivalency program listed in this directory. These students should follow the same steps outlined in this directory as their non-disabled peers in order to participate in the admission process for a school or program. Once a student is accepted to a high school, the school will implement the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP team at the school will welcome the student and family, and together will review the IEP to ensure that all of the student’s needs are met. In some cases, the IEP team may convene to refine the IEP to better meet student needs. High school students receiving Integrated Co- Teaching (ICT) or Special Class (SC) services do not necessarily attend classes as a cohort. Each student will have individualized services in accordance with his/her IEP, and may have combinations of these services for all or part of the day, as appropriate. For more information, visit www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/SpecialEducation.

SITE ACCESSIBILITY The New York City Department of Education (DOE) is committed to ensuring that its programs, services, and activities are accessible to students with disabilities, including students with mobility impairments or other physical disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our school buildings cover several levels of accessibility. The DOE continually reviews its schools to determine which schools are functionally accessible. Each school or program in this directory indicates the Site Accessibility status. There may be multiple school programs within a school building. This Directory lists whether a school is functionally accessible or not accessible. Functionally accessible schools are schools in which an individual with a disability may enter and access all relevant programs and spaces in the building, including science laboratories, library, cafeteria, auditorium, and the gymnasium. In some cases school classes or activities may be relocated to accommodate access. At least one restroom is accessible. Schools that are not accessible cannot provide access to all relevant programs and spaces within a building. If you have specific questions about site accessibility, you should contact the school for more information. Some schools are located in partially accessible buildings that do not provide access to all relevant spaces and services in a school. For example, these schools may be in partially accessible buildings and may or may not have an elevator ramp, but may be able to meet limited mobility needs. For additional information regarding the accessibility status of new schools, please contact the school directly or contact the DOE’s Office of Space Planning at [emailprotected]. For more information about accessibility in New York City public schools, look up the List of Accessible Schools at www.nyc.gov/schools/Offices/OSP/Accessibility.htm.

NEW YORK STATE ACCOUNTABILITY The New York State Education Department (NYSED) determines the accountability status of schools based on its own set of measures. For more information about New York State Accountability, visit the NYSED website: http://data.nysed.gov/.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS English Language Learners (ELLs) may apply to any of the programs listed in this Directory as all New York City Department of Education schools provide a range of supports and services for ELL students to develop their English proficiency and prepare them for success in school, college, and/or careers. There are three different ELL service delivery models offered in New York City public high schools: ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) Freestanding English as a Second Language programs provide all language arts and other subject area instruction in English through the use of specific instructional strategies focused upon developing English proficiency. ESL programs may vary; some schools may offer stand-alone ESL classes while others may incorporate ESL instruction into subject area classes. Support in the native language may also be available with these programs.

TRANSITIONAL BILINGUAL EDUCATION (TBE) Transitional Bilingual Education programs include language arts and subject matter instruction in the students’ native language and English as well as intensive instruction in English as a Second Language. As the student develops English proficiency using the strengthened knowledge and academic skills acquired in the native language, instruction in English increases and native language instruction decreases.

DUAL LANGUAGE (DL) Dual Language programs are designed to integrate English Language Learners with English-proficient students to receive content instruction in English and a target language. The goal of the Dual Language program is to ensure that students graduate bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural. Ultimately, they graduate with a seal of biliteracy.

For the most up-to-date information regarding ELL services at a school, please contact schools directly. For more information about services and supports for English Language Learners (ELLs), call 212-374-6072 or visit the Office of English Language Learners website: www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/ELL.

SERVICES FOR STUDENT PARENTS If you are pregnant or have children, you have the right to stay at your school. You are legally required to attend school through the end of the school year in which you turn 17 years old.

Living for the Young Family through Education (LYFE) is a program that provides free childcare to children of student parents enrolled in New York City Department of Education schools. Certified teachers and caregivers at each LYFE childcare site provides safe, nurturing, and meaningful early childhood learning experiences for infants and toddlers– and help their parents do the same at home. Licensed social workers facilitate weekly individual and group sessions to connect student parents to quality referral services. Staff also collaborates with school/community partners to ensure that student parents stay on track toward graduation while successfully transitioning into parenthood.

Run by the New York City Department of Education’s District 79, the LYFE program makes it possible for student parents to stay on track toward graduating from high school (or completing a high school equivalency diploma) by providing consistent, high-quality childcare, academic guidance, and social advocacy services.

Staff can confirm whether or are a New York City public school student. • Have a child between the ages of 8 weeks to 3 years. (Your child must be at least 8 weeks old and have all age- appropriate immunizations to be enrolled. Your child can remain enrolled in the LYFE program until the end of the school year in which s/he turns three years old.)

To enroll in LYFE you will need: • Your child’s birth certificate • Your birth certificate • A current Child & Adolescent Medical Examination form for your child • A Current record of your child’s immunizations • Your OSIS number

In some cases, your child can go to the LYFE childcare center while your paperwork is sorted out.

You can enroll your child in any LYFE site. You do not have to attend the same school as the LYFE site in which you wish to enroll your child. To find a LYFE location nearest you: • Visit the LYFE locations map online at http://lyfenyc.org • Contract the LYFE Central Office at 212-609-8520 • Call a Referral Center in your borough and say you have a question about LYFE • Go to the “LYFE Program Site Directory” at the end of each borough’s section in this directory • Ask a staff member at your current school
