YCCS-Sullivan House Alt HS

YCCS-Sullivan House Alternative High School is part of the Youth Connection Charter School (YCCS) network, which is designed to serve students in Chicago who have struggled in traditional academic settings. Located in the South Chicago neighborhood, the school focuses on re-engaging "at-promise" youth—typically those who have dropped out or are significantly off-track for graduation—by providing a supportive, flexible, and personalized learning environment. By operating within the YCCS model, Sullivan House emphasizes social-emotional support alongside rigorous academics to help students earn their high school diplomas and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.

The school is structured to meet the unique needs of its student population by offering smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and wrap-around services that address the external barriers often faced by its students. Beyond its core curriculum, Sullivan House prioritizes career and technical education (CTE) and workforce readiness, aiming to bridge the gap between classroom learning and future economic stability. By fostering a culture of mentorship and community, the school strives to empower its students to overcome past educational challenges and succeed in their personal and professional lives.
