Teachers who make a world of difference

Students work independently at a pace tailored to their ability and learning level, as teachers provide personalized attention and guidance. The low student-teacher ratio allows each student to receive more support from their teachers to discuss schoolwork.

Schedules to help you balance all your responsibilities

Students can enroll any weekday of the year. There is no need to wait for classes to start or the semester to begin. Once enrolled, students, parents, and teachers partner to create a class schedule that respects and meets the needs of students.

Learning formats to complement your learning style

In addition to independent study courses, students can participate in small group classes where they think critically and collaborate with others on assignments. OFY also offers on-site Math and English tutors in a variety of online courses.

Guidance for post-grad success!

College and career counseling is provided to every student. Juniors and seniors attend attend FREE college tours and learn what to consider when selecting a school. Students also take part in workshops that expose them to application processes.

Our grads are set up to succeed!

At OFY, we are dedicated not only to helping students succeed while they attend our schools, but also long after. OFY gives students the opportunity to explore various career paths through our Career Technical Education courses, and our counselors help students decide what post-graduation path is right for them. Whether students want to attend a 4-year college or a trade school, join the military or enter the workforce, OFY is there every step of the way to help students get to where they want to be.

Our graduates have been accepted to

Before I joined Options For Youth, I was a C-D average student. While attending OFY, I became a straight A student. Now that I am graduating Options For Youth, I am set to attend college on a full-ride scholarship.

OFY lets students have a chance at succeeding in ways they might not have been able to before. We [the teachers] can get to know our students and help them grow for more than just a year at a time. We get to see our freshman to graduation and build relationships that will last a lifetime.
