YOUTH BUILD PHILA CS

Youth Build Phila CS is a public charter high school that is part of the Youth Build Phila CS school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 259 students. With about 9 teachers, Youth Build Phila CS has a student/teacher ratio of about 28:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School is a unique alternative educational institution designed specifically for young adults aged 18 to 21 who have previously dropped out of the traditional high school system. Located on North Broad Street, the school operates on a dual-track model that combines academic instruction with vocational training. By integrating a high school diploma program with hands-on career development, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to education and prepare them for long-term economic self-sufficiency.

Beyond traditional classroom learning, YouthBuild Philadelphia emphasizes personal growth, leadership development, and civic engagement. Students spend a significant portion of their time participating in community service projects and acquiring industry-recognized certifications in fields such as construction, healthcare, and business technology. Through this holistic approach, the school fosters a supportive environment that equips its students with the professional skills, confidence, and academic credentials necessary to successfully transition into post-secondary education or the competitive workforce.
