Premier High School of American YouthWorks, located on E. Ben White Blvd in Austin, is a tuition-free, public charter school operated by ResponsiveEd. The school is specifically designed for students who may have struggled in a traditional school setting or who are seeking a more flexible, personalized approach to earning their high school diploma. By utilizing a "blended learning" model, the school combines teacher-led instruction with computer-based curriculum, allowing students to work at their own pace to meet their academic goals.

A primary focus of this campus is its partnership with American YouthWorks, which often integrates vocational training, workforce development, and service-learning opportunities into the student experience. The school emphasizes credit recovery and academic support, aiming to re-engage students who are at risk of dropping out. By fostering a supportive, smaller campus environment, Premier High School seeks to provide an alternative pathway to graduation for students who need a non-traditional route to achieve academic success and prepare for life after high school.
