School Overview

YCCS-Assoc Hse El Cuarto Ano High School is a campus within the Youth Connection Charter School (YCCS) network, located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. It is specifically designed as an "option school," serving students who have previously dropped out of traditional high schools or are at risk of doing so. The school operates with a mission to re-engage these students by providing a flexible, supportive, and personalized academic environment that helps them earn their high school diploma and prepare for post-secondary success.

The school emphasizes a non-traditional approach to education, often integrating social-emotional support with academic credit recovery. By focusing on smaller class sizes and individualized instruction, El Cuarto Ano works to remove the barriers that led students away from the traditional school system, such as employment needs, family responsibilities, or academic gaps. It serves as a vital community resource, focusing on both the academic achievement of its students and their long-term development as confident, productive citizens.
