YCCS-LATINO YOUTH ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

YCCS-Latino Youth Alternative HS is a public charter high school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL with about 231 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade.

YCCS-Latino Youth Alternative High School (LYAHS), located in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, is part of the Youth Connection Charter School (YCCS) network. It is specifically designed to serve "at-risk" youth and students who have previously dropped out of the traditional public school system. The school provides a supportive, flexible educational environment aimed at re-engaging students who are over-age for their grade level or who have faced significant academic and social barriers, helping them earn their high school diplomas and prepare for post-secondary success.

Beyond traditional academics, the school places a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning and community integration. As a Latino-focused institution, it integrates cultural relevancy into its curriculum to foster a sense of belonging and identity among its student body. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized attention, Latino Youth Alternative HS seeks to address the unique needs of its students, providing them with the resources, stability, and advocacy necessary to overcome obstacles and achieve long-term educational and career goals.
