Transfer Schools
In New York City, there are nearly 140,000 young people who have dropped out or are significantly off-track for graduation. Good Shepherd Services’ transfer high schools offer these young people a second chance to complete their educations. Based on more than 25 years of work with this population, our nationally recognized transfer high school model integrates the youth development practices and expertise of Good Shepherd within a rigorous, standards-based instructional setting. Operated in seamless collaboration with the New York City Department of Education (DOE), we offer a full-day, year-round academic program in a small school setting of between 150 and 200 students. The result is a highly personalized school environment where each student is known, respected, and supported.
Providing young people with a second chance to earn a diploma and enough support to keep the momentum for positive change going and growing.
