School Overview
Daylight/Twilight High School, located on Edgewood Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey, is a unique alternative education program designed to provide flexible learning opportunities for students who may not thrive in a traditional high school environment. By offering both "Daylight" (daytime) and "Twilight" (evening) sessions, the school accommodates the diverse needs of students, including those who must balance their education with employment, family responsibilities, or other personal commitments. This flexibility is core to the school’s mission of ensuring that all students, regardless of their circumstances, have a viable path toward earning a high school diploma.

The school focuses on credit recovery and personalized instruction, creating a supportive atmosphere for students who have fallen behind in their original academic tracks. By utilizing a non-traditional scheduling model, Daylight/Twilight High School serves as a critical resource within the Trenton Public Schools district, aiming to reduce dropout rates and provide a second chance for academic success. Through this specialized approach, the institution fosters an inclusive environment that prioritizes graduation and prepares students for post-secondary opportunities or entry into the workforce.
