Transfer Schools

If you have at least one year of high school and very few credits, a Transfer School could be a good option to help you earn your high school diploma.

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.

Many Transfer Schools have the added support of Learning to Work (LTW), which offers additional academic and student support, college and career exploration, work preparation, skills development, and internships.

The essential elements of Transfer Schools include:

A personalized learning environment
Rigorous academic standards, student-centered instruction
Support to meet students' academic and developmental goals
Connections to college and career readiness

Eligibility
Transfer Schools accept students who have been enrolled in high school for at least one year and choose to make a change. Each Transfer School determines admissions criteria individually.
